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.
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.

NS 236 with 6 engine head to Portlock in South Norfolk in Petersburg. went a little lower for this shot. i wanted to be closed to the engine as it roared passed me and it was really cool, 236 normally runs with 3 engines so to see double like this was crazy. i sure you can tell I'm really happy with my two NS picture from this spot, i have a video I might put up of 236.
