Southbound gray |
| Description: |
Before too much longer, most trains would have Belles leading. Now, its not that common to see a gray unit, leading or otherwise. Back then, I wbs thrilled to get a Belle. Looking back now, Im glad I caught the grays. This one has 73 cars of grain rolling south at Baron. |

Rolling on down to the sea |
| Description: |
A 179 car coal train rolls under the SCL at N Collier as it makes its way down to NWs Norfolk coal piers. I wonder how many tons wound up along the right of way-look at the coal blowing off the cars!! The power was typical of these trains-this one is light, trains longer than 200 cars were common-as there is little gradient to overcome. Nice to see a Southern unit leading. |

PYRP arrives |
| Description: |
PYRP crosses Terrace Drive and enters the East Binghamton yard. Power is typical, but today we have something different, rebuilt GP 38-2 7312, just in from M-K in Mountain Top PA. Note the railfan chase vehicle in the foreground. This was a Canadian built Chevy Celebrity for the Canadian market-the speed read in kilometers per hour, and the odometer counted kilometers. It took some adjusting to figure out how far and fast you were going. I got pretty good at multiplying everything by 5/8ths. |

Southern power rolls |
| Description: |
A set of Southern SD 40s rolls south through a pair of NW signals with a grain train on the NW Shenandoah Sub, showing the effects of the NS merger four years earlier. Long hood forward was standard practice on the Southern and N&W, so the leader is not running backward. |

Grab shot |
| Description: |
My wife doesnt believe I get these. We were driving through Decatur AL on the way home from Georgia last weekend when I pulled up to a light on US72A. There was a crossing between me and the intersection. I looked over, expecting empty track on a Sunday afternoon. To my surprise, there was a train there. I took advantage of the slow speed to roll over the crossing, holding the camera up. I tripped the shutter as we went over the crossing, with this result. A pair of SDs are holding north of the crossing on an industrial track leading to the Nucor steel plant. |
