Probably some sort of transfer or local.
The ADM Milling Facility is in the background.
Lack of yard space sometimes made it necessary for trains to be parked outside the yard. This BFOA is on Conrail track 3 waiting for space in the yard. A yard crew will come out and get it when theres room. NS power was typical.
The bridge over the new I-74 near Sophia
The bridge over the new highway (I-74)
Just east of the Sophia crossing
Ive finally caught the Virginian out of the yard. NS 1069 leads the loaded woodchip train to Columbia.
P41 heads south for Charlotte with 10 cars
3 SD40-2s are the power on NS P76 Transfer train
3 SD40-2s (2 High Hoods) power NS Transfer P76 through CP Spring
119 blasts south through Harrisburg after meeting 212, 290, 156, and 172 at CP Haydock
Dash 9 is out of view behind the SD40-2s
Gainesville is a very busy place
What NS would look like white, or CSX with a Blue nose here you go
I always hope for this
That I love SD40-2s
Of two different railroads
But I also like standard cabs
Do you think this happens in Andrews Yard
My next stop along the kill time route was Andrews Yard as the circus train was in town. See the next album. I went over to the storage tracks. And what do we get NS and CSX sitting peacefully next to each other
An array of power rests at the Juniata Shops.
