Some may not belive this but we were rail fanning out here before a holiday and this crew came along with light power and then went behind this buliding??? The curve was old creaky and so tight U figure a EMDMP15 could barley make the curve. As the pics show after a very LOUD grinding of wheels on old jointed rail the crew came down ( not shown but we took pics) and put there grips and gear right by us and then a lady came out and she was not happy at all. They had a not so friendly conversation and then the crew came over and was waiting for a ride. Strange usaly they stay aboard the locomotive or have the wheels waiting for them. The came across and stood? We did not want to bother them after what was not a happy day for them. They put this big GE behind the fence and tied it down shut it off. It was almost funny becuse it looked like they were parking a car and then closing the gate. GOD BLESS ALL

First let me excuse myself for my spelling! I dont ever look down when I type and I dont use spell check or “proof” read what I post. If interested I have this on video. I did record the entire deal. Even have the conversation between them. I feel bad becuse we were watching NS stack trains and the very rare coal train, which is mostly BNSF powder river basin coal… That is still great. My only complaint about NS is all the DASH 9s!!! I hope that EMD order for 100 EMDSD70ACEs will bring them onto our main… Wonder if it will put the old dash 9s into some sort of secondary coal service in the south? We do get SD70s and 60s , but I think they are mostly X conrail units. GOD BLESS U ALL… Time to go weight lift and supps and EAT BEEF LOL… take care
