The NIT trains are always a unique catch to see on the Norfolk sub. One locomotive pulling a full size stack train down a branch line is to common these days. Goal is to eventually try and shot these trains deeper in Norfolk, Virginia to see them making their way downtown but they’re not the easiest to see. The old ford plant tends to be the best spot to have good fortune with catching these trains, hence why most of my shots would be located here.
NS NV03 comes around the diamond into Portlock with NS 6110 passing my brand to car. My dream car has always been a mini cooper, i don't know why but it always has and I've finally got one to boast with it. It is a stick but i learned how to drive just so i could get it lol.
A NS manifest waits on Fort Rd outside of Rockwood Michigan with a BNSF C4 Gevo leading a NS SD40-2. I ended coming to this spot a lot, whenever i came back here a new power set would be sitting here and was also very easy to chase.

8/31/2021 - NKP 765 pauses in the CSX Yard in "The Flats" or the suburb of Tremont in Cleveland OH awaiting to get clearance to head down to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad for the annual Steam In The Valley Event in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Here NS 271 clearing liberty street in South Norfolk around sun set. Two west coast visitor are leading today with a BNSF H2 D9-44CW leading a UP SD70ACe trailing. Another thing to note is that are good friend Chelsea was on board today with this train, Chelsea is a well know conductor in the area and gives frequent heads ups on trains she takes to Norfolk.

Back when i went on my trip to Michigan in Augusts. I was able to catch a solo CN SD75i running long hood forward with a singular coil car in Charter Twp of Berlin, Michigan.
Two monsters of the graffiti scene painted this boxcar. JASF is out of Ohio while ICH is somewhere in the North East.
Now on its way to NIT, NV01 leaves Portlock with 3457 leading the charge at Carolina Junction in South Norfolk.
Since for much of the year L519 begins (and ends) their trip at Ladysmith under cover of darkness you really treasure a beautiful long day such as this with great light and great power. One of my favorite spots on the Barron Sub are these reverse curves here west of Weyerhaeuser. June 29, 2019.
A CN manifest runs through the CN and CSX diamond in Wellsboro Indiana with a SD75i leading a GECX tier 4 Demonstrator trailing.
Very fun train for me, I've never thought id be able to railfan CN let alone out of state, but hear i am in Indiana with one of my railfan friends :)
NS 273 fly's underneath the CSX A line with a rare KCS grey ghost leading down the line. We had to trim some branches down for a better angle of the train coming out from the bridge, i think it was worth it lol. I felt like every railfan was out for this thing and for good reason, never thought we'd get one on the Norfolk sub but here we are.
CSX P001-01 is making its way to Philadelphia and to continue up north. But before that its gotta travel through the A-line and onto the RF&P. i planned to chase but was a bit hard when they were going 75mph.
CSX F781 power sits in Berkeley in South Norfolk with a crazy EMD consist. Seeing one of the 10 remaining SD50 on roster was honestly jaw dropping for me. Couldn't believe one had made it all the way out here and in Berkeley no less .
CSX #7001 begins to creep into Franklin Virginia next to the Birdsong Peanuts factory with a cut of Grainers.
NV01 begins to cross over the eastern branch bridge in Norfolk with NS 3216 leading up front bound for Portlock
A Westbound CSX intermodal rolls through the crossing next to the station for Brunswick, Maryland. On the left is the old switch tower for the rail yard.
Here in Huntingdon, PA the Amtrak station isn't much to look at and the mainline is down to two tracks, but the trains fly through in a hurry.
I played around a little until I got just the right shutter speed and I got my timing just right to capture the station sign between speeding tanker cars.
Luckily I had a big a umbrella because it was raining pretty hard when I took this photo.
Chesapeake and Albemarle, feels good to finally get i shot I've been meaning to get, glad to see 502 .
A CSX local begins to pull forward at Lee Hall with a couple of cars to shove back into the siding. Wasn't excepting to have a GP38-2s on this train.
