Stacks and racks get a push |
| Description: |
Typically, auto racks dont get a DPU on the rear, since 89 foot cars are not that stable when pushed. This mixed intermodal train-the head end was double stacks-seems to belie that theory. |

First by |
| Description: |
I had left my relatives home near Jasper Ga in quest of some rail action. My wife and some female relatives had gone on a girls trip to Pigeon Forge, so I was free to roam. I caught a southbound on the CSX line from Knoxville along US 411, then went over to Dalton on my way to Chattanooga. I stopped for a couple hours at Dalton to catch the action. The first train was a northbound move with 84 auto racks, 1 articulated rack, and 41 freight behind a single unit, though there would be a mid train DPU as well. |

Deadlined |
| Description: |
In poking my way around Chattanooga, I found myself looking at the dead line in Debutts Yard late in the afternoon. It was kind of strange seeing power I thought of as "new" already heading to rebuild, or the torch, including these SD 70M-2s, that seemed to have had a short life on NS. Several did find their way to the NYSW. |

There was a large contingent of GEs at Debutts as well. NS has embarked on a DC to AC program; will these become fodder for it, or just go to scrap?? Funny to see diesels I recall being in service not that long ago, retired. |
