Unusual power
Title:  Unusual power
Description:  Its typical to see the home road power on its own trains, but on this train, 41T, thats more of an anomaly than common occurrence. 41T is a run through with CN that almost always gets CN power. The southbound edition, 40T, must have gotten into Enola too late to turn the power for 41T, or there was another problem somewhere, resulting in a set of NS power on the train today, seen at QD yard for a crew change. An added surprise is the CR painted straight SD 70.

Full set
Title:  Full set
Description:  The full set of power on todays 41T, an uncommon all NS consist. More unusual is the CR straight SD 70 that trails. Those units were bought with the CR split in mind, and numbered into the NS numbering plan, hence no "patch" on the numbers, making for a pure looking unit.

Wintry scene
Title:  Wintry scene
Description:  12T rolls through Endwell as seen from Watson Blvd across the pond. NS was taking delivery of new GEs from Erie in primer at the time, and painting them at Altoona or Chattanooga as they reached those shops. The result was many of them ran "undecorated" for a while til they got to a paint booth. One trails on this train.
