Honoring First Responders

Thanks to a timely message from Matthew Schimmel, some help with getting the car de-iced from my son, and my good ol' friend that I call coffee I was able to brave the chill and get a first look at and some shots of the NS "Honoring First Responders" Unit, #911.

 

While it's trailing, the leader is nothing to sneeze at, either: not too many standard cab SD70s left. I imagine I'll have far more additional opportunities to catch 911 in the next 20 years...SD70s not so much.

 

Together, the two locomotives were sufficient power for the 9 doublestack cars in tow!
