Round two of this heritage duo, this time under rainy conditions. NS 757 rolls west through Shawsville on slippery rails with the Nickel Plate and Penn Central heritage units up front.
With literally the last couple minutes of daylight available, the original Norfolk Southern heritage unit pulls NS 65W up grade in Shawsvillle at John Farm on the Christiansburg district.
Just before the sun has risen over the mountain, NS 51X rumbles west through Shawsville, Va. The Southern heritage unit leads the train up grade with just that unit online.
