Long Intermodal
I used a long lens to photograph this long intermodal so we could see much of it down the tracks. The tracks, and the train, curve off to our right at the far end.
The high-rail truck is a MOW vehicle, parked to watch for falling rocks. The rocks on the right are normally fenced off from the tracks (like those on the left) but NS has been clearing brush and they temporarily removed the fence. This means a MOW worker must be staffed at the site at all times in case something breaks free and rolls down into the path of a train.
