Foreign Power on Home Rails
On a cold and wet May night, NS SD40-3 6431 switches around BNSF 10th Avenue Yard and NS Avondale Yard with a load of autoracks in tow. While NS 6431 is now wearing Norfolk Southern black and white, NS 6431 is actually on home rails with its Burlington Northern sibling. NS 6431 was built as BN 7065 in July 1978 and lasted with the BN up until the BNSF merger in 1996. Shortly after, BN 7065 was sold to HLCX until being aquired by Norfolk Southern as NS 3517. NS 3517 was rebuilt as NS 6431 in early 2024 at the Juniata shops.
