I've been working on building a spartan cab SD70 in G Scale (1:29). I'm working on an NS loco that is a former CR of the same road number. I have some details to work on yet like the AC on the roof but I wanted to make a test run to see how things look.

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.
If you're going to come out of the tunnel then you are going to get wet. Luckily, for this trash train, the rain might help keep the smell down.
