Roster shot.
Quite a Colorful Consist!
Heading south.
BNSF 4445 & NS 8940 Westbound at Painted Rock.
An older Dash 9 on a southbound coal.
Not a good shot, but it's still a train.
Of course the train speeds up as it gets closer.
Camera played me and waited to shoot, so I was just a tad short on the 205
BNSF power awaits their call to take the coal away, as the NS 205 eases across BD in Binghamton with a UP leader
513 rolls west through CP West Lang with NS C40-8W 8352 leading two C40-9Ws, with a long consist of Empty Coal Hoppers behind.

A tardy 213 blazes south through Kannapolis with an increasingly rare set of SD60s in command.
NS 520 (Reading, PA - Fairless, PA coal loads) stopped at CP-MA waiting for 17G to depart Morrisville ...
Loaded coal passing through the yard on way to Port at Fairless for export...
As the train on the right is leaving, another is pulling right on in
The Bridgeview is one heck of a place to stay!
Got to the other side, and found that the Bridgeview B&B was having a railfest and open house! Thanks to the owner Kieth, for giving me the grand tour and for allowing several hours of railfanning from his array of vantage points!
