Southern on the Northwestern
NS 8099, Norfolk Southern's heritage unit, made its first appearance as a leader on the UP Geneva Subdivision under the cover of darkness, when it led a westbound ethanol train to Iowa. As a result, a lot of fans missed a chance at getting a shot of it.
Today, the unit returned leading a loaded ethanol train back from Iowa headed for NS interchange, and this time the fans were out in full force. Here 8099 passes under the iconic C&NW coal tower in DeKalb, IL.
