NS 7263 North freight 12Z, between Sampson and Grottoes, Virginia_
Not much motive power variety remains on the NS anymore. So fortunately I had my gear along when I was taking my truck in for its annual state inspection as this freight 12Z was passing through town. Leader SD70ACU number 7263 peaked my interest into a short chase. The 7263 was rebuilt from a Union Pacific SD9043MAC (UP 8034). Yep, getting pretty desperate in this day of locomotive fleet reductions account the PSR craze!
