NS 234 goes on the Y switch at portlock yard with quite the consist of two Canadian visitor and the Lehigh Valley heritage unit leading. Had to wake up at 5 in the Moring for this train is it was 100% worth it, probably one of the best train I've ever caught.

A coal train crawls down into Fulton yard at Rivanna Junctionwith with a set of DPU on the rear. Just got done eating at a restaurant and looked up and saw the coal train parked on the bridge, had to run to the parking garages for my shot.
NS 822 with a very long coal train with 5 engines and 250 coal car blast through Petersburg. This was a really nice train for me because i like catch the dash 9 on NS before there all AC44C6M, and had a ACe throwed in there to.

Here is the NPBL power sitting in front of the Berkeley yard. it had just storm a couple hours ago and some puddles left over and i took full advantage of it.

Passing the famous red barn that houses ColdWater Media, CP ES44AC #8779 is on point of a southbound grain train headed for California on a beautiful winter morning
After we left 562 behind we headed back to Akron in search of 291. We found him at the west end of Brittain Yard getting warrant to head west. We set up for shot just a few miles away and when he didn't arrive shortly we back tracked and found them setting out some lumber loads at this facility in Akron just as the sun set making for a great shot of 7016 with ex BNSF unit buried behind. Interestingly in order to spot these cars they had to make a run around move, something that probably rarely happens on class1 mainline freights.
Loads of NS power looks out at south yard in Roanoke Virginia.
This shot is really is something to me, ill never forgot how much of a fun time i had when i went to Roanoke just watching train after train. Really cool seeing a bunch of C6M, DC, ET, ACe, and ACC all bunch together.
a 233 power move comes throught park ave out of lambets point and heads straight to portlock rd with 8 motors to leave on 223, 227, and 22A
Coming back to my roots for a bit, here we have a nice simple cab shot of NPBL 5260 tied down while NS 5113 works Berkeley yard. The crew was very friendly with the waves and horn shows. I actually was there when they got off the shift and I had a very nice chat with them.
I apologize for the lack of post, School has been weighing me down and its pretty difficult to get out by the rails these days. I have been getting out but just not happy with the shots I've been getting, but for now take this lovely picture of my regional short line.
CSX tier 4 sits in the front of the NPBL Berkeley yard on a very windy day. This was one of my first times ever driving to a spot with me just getting my licenses, such a good feeling :) It also would start snowing a little bit which add to the shot to me, even if its barely there. It rarely snow in the area so i take what i can get.
A pair of CSX AC44's sits in the middle of Berkeley yard in South Norfolk. Crew ran out of time to park the power and had to have the NPBL crews park them.
An eastbound CSX freight with a long line of loaded Autoracks passes the Brunswick station.

NS 273 comes through Crewe with a very horn happy engineer in the cab. Nice to see and very worn and beat H2 dash 9 as well.
NS 1627 continues to be assigned to Crewe for yard jobs seen here on St Patrick Day coupled with 3496. Two units of interest that have been roaming the Norfolk sub area for the past couple of months.
