Didn't really get anything done on the board this week, but I did pick up a mint, still sealed Milwaukee Limited set. Those MPC collector sets are pretty cool & can be had for almost nothing these days. Also found a spare 252 gate that I threw on the board & installed.
Santino loves watching the trains !
On a rainy January afternoon, Bristol bound 201 prepares to duck under US 460 in Elliston, VA with a rare SD70M in the lead.
On a crisp December morning, NS SD70ACU 7267 (ex UP SD90MAC 8039/UP 3526) leads a southbound grain train on the CNO&TP Third District in Chattanooga, TN
A pair of SD60Es were being used in the Altoona helper pool for a time back in the Spring. They are seen shoving 16N past the now removed 249 intermediates in Cresson, PA
The final ex Conrail Dash-8 I saw in service on NS was former Conrail 6064 (built 5/90). The engine was leading V81 off the Cloverdale branch & back to Roanoke. The unit had a really sweet RS3L on it too!
NS ES44AC 8117 is in charge of Atlanta bound 211 as it heads through Gastonia, NC on the Piedmont Division.
After getting a pair of helpers, NS ES44AC 8074 prepares to knock down the signal at FARM as it gets moving with a load of eastbound black diamonds.
We had it loaded up with hot wheels over the weekend !
