NS train W76 (Louisville-Bellevue)
NS train W76 (Louisville-Bellevue)

Norfolk Southern train W76 (Louisville-Bellevue), second section of NS train 376, is eastbound on track #1 of the NS Dayton district at milepost CJ 220. I think that any of you can attest to just how rare it it to find two locomotives pulling an NS train and neither of them being a widenose, and in near-perfrect light. I was thrilled out of my little Jeffie mind.
