The Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit and the Ballast Train

After sitting on a siding about twenty miles north of here on the R Line for want of a crew, NS 94Z, the Herzog ballast train finally rolled through town on a rainy Sunday. Headed for Augusta and trackwork on the R Line South, it was headed up by the beautiful (Original) Norfolk Southern Railway heritage unit.  I hope that you enjoy. Thank you for watching!
