Stuarts Draft Dawn
Just a few minutes after dawn, NS 202 slices through the still-darkened landscape past the CPL bracket mast at Stuarts Draft. A matched set of SD70ACes leads this lengthy train north toward Shenandoah, and eventually Harrisburg. 202 and counterpart 201 are the only intermodal trains to use the lower part of the H-Line, which otherwise is limited to manifests and the occasional unit train. They're hot on the heels of northbound manifest 12Z, and are passing a 15T that's waiting in the siding right behind me.
