Had a foreign visitor from the west on the Danville District this morning.
It was a pretty quiet morning on the Danville District, this mixed freight was all I saw over about an hour and a half.
I would have to say that the standard cab Dash 8's are my favorite locomotives that NS runs. It's always a treat to catch one leading, no matter how ratty the decal work.
What better to do with a day off of work than a little railfanning. I caught the Carolinian rolling into Greensboro on a perfect Thursday morning.
The Carolinian was running approximately an hour and a half late, which meant that I was able to catch it after work.
The Carolinian takes on passengers at Track 1 while NS 9901 leads a mixed freight past the lower platform.
NS 3273 creeps forward along the yard lead as it prepares to push its train into the Pomona Yard.
NS 9792 splits the crossing gates at the Hilltop Rd. grade crossing.
The all EMD lashup provides plenty of power on the head end of this manifest as it crosses Hilltop Rd.
The ex Conrail leader on this mixed freight labors to keep this train rolling. This unit has been around the block a time or two, she was built in September of '78.
NS 9599 leads this power move through the Pomona Yard.
