HLCX 5960 |
Description: |
HLCX 5960, an ex-UP, nee-CNW SD60 sit's in Roanoke's South Yard with 2 GE units waiting on it's next assignment.

NS 9265 |
Description: |
Who would have thought 20 years ago you would find Bluefield, WV as a hub of intermodal activity. In this scene we have a Eastbound stack train led by dash 9s NS 9265, NS 9459 and SD60 NS 6564 while a Westbound stack train enters the yard on an adjacent track. Bluefield is the crew change point for all through freight. The Eastbound crew just came on duty and is ready to assault the New River Valley with 11800 horsepower. |

NS 9430 and 5 other units on Coopers Viaduct |
Description: |
NS 9420 and 5 other units lead a long empty coal hopper train Westbound on track 2 bound for Auville Yard in Iaeger, WV over the massive viaduct at Coopers, WV. These longer than normal trains of empties with many units end up being broken up into smaller trains for mine runs. An eastbound Autorack train passes on track 1 in the background. The track in the foreground is the abandoned former N&W Bluestone branch which still exists but has been abandoned and out of service since 1988. This portion of the trackage has been used for car storage off and on for several years until recently. |

An interesting lashup on the Greenville District. SD60 6691 leads SD70 2540, Dash9 9872 and MP15DC 2368 lead a freight over Hartwell Lake near Toccoa, GA. You can really see how low the lake is in this shot, directly under the rear truck of the lead unit you can see a navigational buoy sticking 15 feet above what would be the bottom of the lake, but is now just dry land. |
