The Roadrailer
Making a very rare afternoon appearance is NS 255, "The Roadrailer", at Missouri City, MO on the NS Kansas City District. This thing was running about 16 hours late.
NS 255 and its counterpoint 256 are the last two left in existence. With these trains normally being nocturnal, I try to shoot these anytime they happen to be running with the sun in the sky.
I would've chase it like I normally do, but I don't feel it can get much better than the wide shot I got on 1/17/22. I was pretty satisfied with doing a "one and done" close to home, especially since there really isn't much special with this C6M. However, the C6M I shot on 1/17 is the cleanest I have ever seen an NS motor. That's a sad statement.
