Pre-PSR Finale
Throwing it back to a much better time on the NS. Just before they started to take a "PSR" turn for the worst, NS seemed to have supplied a finale of cool power in 2018. A large variety of leasers, including GECX and PRLX variants made frequent appearances on the NS Lake Erie District. One of the most memorable consists that year happened on this warm August day. MEC 3402 made its way onto the point of westbound intermodal 23K, and the trailing power just added to the show. A PRLX AC60, a NS Dash 9 standard cab, and a couple GECX Dash 8s all trail the Pan Am SD40-2.
A blanket of gray covered the Lake Erie shore this day, but a small break in those clouds opened up just in time to light up this epic consist. I really felt like I probably used up any luck I'd have for a while on this shot, but man was it worth it. 23K leaves the Ashtabula Towers apartment building behind and pounds the diamond with the Youngstown line as they make their way west toward Cleveland.
