NS 11R accelerates from a stop after waiting for another southbound in front of it in the best golden winter light.
NS 11R has 11 export locomotives for Valor da Logistica Integrada (VLI) on flat cars with the trucks behind. VLI locomotives 6035 - 6045 are heading to Norfolk, VA to be placed on board a ship.
NS 11R is crossing the Rockville Bridge going towards the Harrisburg fuel pad, then continuing South towards Hagerstown.
