Well this is the most recent train i have caught as of right now. NPBL 5260 leads a tank train to Berkeley yard on a very gloomy day. This was a good train for me to go out on but im currently unable to take trips has for right now. Today i got in a car accident and wrecked the front of my car. Very upset about but thankful im ok. i hope to get back to posting as soon as possible but will see how long it takes.
NPBL 5260 sits in the front of Berkeley yard with NS 5113 behind her.
Its been awhile sense I've gotten to see the the Belt line, I've been railfanning more NS and the traffic in the NPBL has die down a bit so there not much to see these days, but there still sometimes some CSX power i like to see. This was also my first shot the NPBL 5260 with my D3400 and i think it turn out pretty good.

With main 2 out of service because of bridge 7 needed maintenance, trains on the Norfolk sub have to share main 1 for the next couple of weeks. Here we have 29G clearing Bridge 7 and heading over Shell road with #8033 leading 4 other engines. Down at canal waits I34 for main 1 to be clear and cross over bridge 7 on main 1

NS 278 is entering Portlock yard with BNSF 8791 and NS 9485 pulling it into the yard. This train went through Petersburg at 10:00 in the morning and i was able to still catch this train a 3:00 in the afternoon. Another thing to note is the 94 series dash 9 trailing behind the ACe, at the time of writing this, there are not a lot of these left, could possibly be the last one I ever see. So I made sure to take in the moment.
NS 279 (EX 22A) fly's past Yadkin road with a BNSF ACe #8576 leading up front. Right behind him is KCS ES44AC #4812 and NS D9-44CW #9814. Super cool train to see here on the Norfolk Sub. I've been railfanning sense 2019 and in that time I've never seen a KCS engine get this far east. Love this shot and the look of the consist.
Belt line transfer jobs brings in a long train of mix freight coming into Berkeley yard in south Norfolk, Virginia.
NS 5113 leads todays train with it screaming in notch 8. 5113 as been on the NPBL for 4 year now and has been going strong.
NS 234 goes on the Y switch at portlock yard with quite the consist of two Canadian visitor and the Lehigh Valley heritage unit leading. Had to wake up at 5 in the Moring for this train is it was 100% worth it, probably one of the best train I've ever caught.
NS 278 sits underneath NS junction with the 4004 up front. I was waiting at another spot but nothing was showing up so i got ready to leave, right as i crossed the road and over the crossing i saw the head light and quickly U-turned back to my spot.

A coal train crawls down into Fulton yard at Rivanna Junctionwith with a set of DPU on the rear. Just got done eating at a restaurant and looked up and saw the coal train parked on the bridge, had to run to the parking garages for my shot.
NS 822 with a very long coal train with 5 engines and 250 coal car blast through Petersburg. This was a really nice train for me because i like catch the dash 9 on NS before there all AC44C6M, and had a ACe throwed in there to.

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.
