NS coal train over NS mixed freight with a UP leader.
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.
Coming out of the Mexico Border, a pair of Ferromex ACes and a UP AC44 round the bend at Nogales, Arizona.
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.

NS 65D with two UP engines sit at the fuel track in the Roanoke south yard. this was pretty crazy to me that we had two train that day with Union pacific power, pretty crazy.
You would be so surprised on how far social media has effected are modern friendships as a society. Many people are meeting their best friends and their life long partners through social media’s. Many people would look down upon this sense people used to just meet in the whiled. While this is still a viable way to meet people these days, it’s a lot easier for people to related to other through online methods to meet other who have similar interests and opinions. I am no exception to this new way of meeting new friends. Back in late 2020 when we were all locked inside suffering from isolation, I meet probably my best friend and has taught me about everything I know about the railroad, photography, and life as a whole. Just by sending him a random message on his story sprawl a huge friendship leading us to actually meeting 2 years later in person. It was a huge event for myself being able to travel all the way to Michigan from Virginia just for taking pictures of trains with a friend I’ve never meet.
When we meet the first thing we did was run some model trains and then we headed out for some real trains. The BNSF power represented here is the last trains that we saw on the trip. Located in West Olive, Michigan, BNSF power is a common site here in the J.H Campbell Generating plant. Charlie would often show me these coal trains on video calls and I told him this would be a thing I would like to see when I come up there. So on the last day we ventured to the plant and spotted four BNSF engine idling in the plant awaiting an assessment.
I miss this trip so much, words can’t describe how happy I was during this trip for a multitude of reasons. Seeing train that I thought I would never get to see and spending time with an online friend just doing what we love was such a magical experience that I prey to experience again someday. Me and Charlie had light plans for him to visit me next year so he could explore my area for a change, sadly plans are falling through and I am currently not in the financial position to fund a trip. Hopefully though and the near future we can meet again have make even better memories than the first trip. I’m so thankful for are friendship Charlie.
