S01E304 Military Equipment Move at Night

On the Saturday after Trainsgiving, I received credible information that that evening's NS 15R would have no fewer than 20 cars of military equipment, so off I went to stake out a couple of my usual locations. They were right, including some six-axle DODX flats. No tanks, though. Those came in on Monday's 15R, which will be posted very soon. It also had some neat fallen flags, plenty of graffiti, and a N&W former cement hopper that was leaking lime on the tracks like a sieve. Please watch and enjoy. Thanks in advance!

S01E279 Conrail Heritage Unit on NS 12R

At long, long last, the Conrail heritage unit made an appearance in Columbia. I missed it coming in, but I made sure not to miss it leaving for Charlotte and points beyond, Captured against a backdrop of lovely falling leaves, this colorful train really pops. And rumbles. And growls. It came out rather well. I do hope that you'll take a few moments to click the thumbnail and watch. Thanks!

S01E335 Like a Ball of Fire in the Night

This is footage that my partner, Caroline, took of the NS 15R barreling into town on the last mile of its daylong journey. Good stuff. Great tagging, too. The talking in the background about halfway through was an inebriated occupant of a nearby apartment who decided to wander over and take a selfie with the train. Hope that you enjoy, and thanks for watching!
