CSX power sits in Berkeley yard on the curve with a newly released CW40-9 in YN3 paint. This is my second time seeing a CSX CW40-9 and its a great feeling seeing a era you missed and having a second chances of seeing it.
NV01 begins to pull up to Portlock Rd with NS #6110 at the lead. Had to wait back at Carolina junction and wait for 29G to head up to Bridge 7.
NV01 I believe pulls up to Portlock rd. and has its engine #6110 sit on the crossing. had a very impatience drive who was honking at the train.
In all of my years railfanning the Lurgan Branch I've never managed to catch the local freight, until now. This unit was trailing on the train as it headed West (South).

Due to work in a tunnel, CSX has been detouring several trains per day over NS. I finally caught one of them headed East on the Harrisburg line in Hummelstown, PA.
Too bad I couldn't catch one with the sun on the nose.

Amtrak 14 begins to pull out of Roanoke with a Norfolk southern Dash 9 leading. from what i heard the Amtrak engine #172 was having engine trouble so the put a NS engine on the train instead.
CSX W943 sits in the NPBL yard with a very clean YN2 Dash 8 leading. One of my recent attempts at a night time shot and I'm pretty pleased on how it came out, even if its a bit grainy.

Making a pitstop in Laurel, Montana, we find BNSF 2806 switching out the Westend of the yard with very blue sky’s to boot. Was my first time seeing a BN unit in action and was definitely something to take in. Was even better to see a old GP30 in action
NS 41N running notch 8 by Yadkin with a single AC44C6M at the lead. Pretty interesting vibe to see a signal engine on a grain train, no DPU
