Clearance work on the old N&W may be the reason this Columbus to Norfolk stack train is taking the long way via the former PRR
CN M447 Rolls through the Duplainville Interlocking.
NS 9387 pauses just long enough to pose for the camera at the west switch in New Baden waiting for clearance to proceed west.
A nice unibrow horsehead NS 9387 splits the signals at the west end of the New Baden siding as it throttles west toward E. St. Louis.
