One of the dwindling number of C40-9s left on NS yet to be rebuilt leads Norfolk Southern 203 west on the Lurgan Branch

NS 130 (Meridian-Birmingham, AL) looks north as it readys to depart Meridian. the train, which has alot of tankers from Laurel, works an average of 2-4 days a week.

Go to a UP main line see NS trains.... Here we see NS 8351 as it leads this auto train south on the Union Pacific Chester Sub., most likely NS train 171 (Detroit, MI (Sterling) - Sidney, IL (UP)). So technically its a UP traio running with NS power. Currently crossing the Big Muddy River Bridge in Wolf Lake, Illinois on a crystal clear Saturday.
