NS power run through
Title:  NS power run through
Description:  Some stack trains of that era got NS run through power as well, which occasionally got interesting. One of the less common units on NS and Southern before it was the B30-7A. Here we see 3508 leading a 257 train west with 45 stack platforms and 47 cars of merchandise from the NY 352 overpass at Big Flats.
