I've been working on building a spartan cab SD70 in G Scale (1:29). I'm working on an NS loco that is a former CR of the same road number. I have some details to work on yet like the AC on the roof but I wanted to make a test run to see how things look.

NS 276 makes it to Portlock yard in south Norfolk, Virginia with two EMD motors up front. Today 276 blessed us with the 1800 engine specially painted in a yellow bonnet scheme from NS back in 2018. These ACC locomotives are some of my personal favorite and 1800s paint scheme is very striking in a sea of all black and white locomotives.
We look down upon a tied town G755 off of Oregon Hill Pkwy in Richmond, Virginia. Two pretty nice units on the headend with the L&N Heritage unit leads a last standing un rebuilt Flared Mac numbered 4810. Not my best work at all but i worked with what i had with the sun shining in my eyes.
NV03 begins to approach canal drive when someone begins to walk down the tracks. The conductor looked like he was trying to ignore him to the best of his albites.
NS NV01 waits for her conductor to arrive and in the mean time waits ideal at the old Ford plant spot with familiar 3216 leading
If you're going to come out of the tunnel then you are going to get wet. Luckily, for this trash train, the rain might help keep the smell down.

NS Painted this hopper car several years ago to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pier 6. Lamberts Point is the home of Norfolk Southern's Pier 6, the largest and fastest trans-loading facility for coal in the Northern Hemisphere. The facility's annual throughput capacity is rated at 48 million tons. Unlike most facilities of its kind, Lamberts Point assembles all cargo in railcars and loads direct to vessel, rather than utilizing ground storage. The system is remarkably versatile due to its ability to blend individual lots up to five ways (a five-track blend) yet in increments as small as 100 tons. The 1850' pier facility can accommodate approximately 6,200 loaded railcars, and at full capacity, its dual twin rotary dumpers (capable of dumping up to four cars simultaneously) can dump 1,200 cars per day.

I grew up very near this mainline scene and to me it will always be "CP Valley" despite the modern name changes.
The NYC Heritage Unit was trailing this afternoon on this intermodal train.
A PRR (and BNSF) logo is scribbled by hand into the dust and dirt on the side of the cab.
