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.
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.
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.
We have made a pitstop in Minnesota for some yard activities with BNSF in their Northtown. Warbonnet 626 was one of the yard of jobs I was able to capture and I’m very happy with the results.
The beltline makes a run to Portlock for some 3 bays and leaves with style as NPBL 5260 leads the charge.
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.
A empty coal train sits at Llewellyn Ave in downtown Norfolk waiting for Amtrak to clear.
Just got done with the rock gym right beside the track and designed it couldn't hurt to see if anything was coming and lone and behold a C6m and a AC gevo were siting there waiting for me. Always fun being able to shot Lamberts point.

NS 228 backs in with its trains into Portlock at the NS junction field. I’ve always wanted to catch trains in the snow and this was my first time doing so. I’m super happy with this catches and shots, everything went perfectly and I couldn’t be happier.
Heading up the Lugran branch on a cold morning the PRR heritage unit leads a regular black NS loco and a clean BNSF unit.
