NS 21Z
NS train 21Z, aka 21 Zebra, 21 Zipper, or just "The Zipper" (Rutherford, PA to Chicago, 63rd St. Park Manor), with five black horses in charge of its hotshot containers and trailers flies though Brimfield, Indiana on Norfolk Southern Railway's Ex-Lake Shore & Michigan Southern mainline soaking up the very last rays of sunlight on a late summer day. The leader is looking quite battered with scrape marks, a replacement front door, and unreadable number boards. The lead axle is just getting ready to hit the equipment installed on the track for the MP 386.3 defect detector. The NYC tri-light signal and code line poles can be seen and serve as reminders of yesterdays technology.
