Idling in Bluefield Yard in the late afternoon light, a remarkably clean ES44AC waits for a fresh crew before departing west for the Pochaontas Division coalfields. This locomotive, NS 8113 was featured in commercial by General Electric less than a week before this photo was captured. For a photo captured during the filming of the commercial, click HERE.
