Got the juice |
| Description: |
OJT, the Tropicana orange juice train, rolls north at AF. Typically, even numbered units faced north; somehow 138 got turned and is running backward. The train will terminate at Tropicana's Kearny NJ distribution center, where trucks will take the juice throughout the northeast. The cars will return south as they are unloaded, and are not returned as a unit train. |

Pigs south |
| Description: |
In the 80s, containerization had not taken over the intermodal world to the extent it has today. This 79 car train of TOFC flats was typical, seen passing the Alexandria station. To the right, a DC Metro train rolls out of the King St station, making this photo truly intermodal. |

One of Southern's hi hood GP 30s is in the yard at Manassas, part of the consist for the Strasburg Turn. NS did not repaint a lot of the older power that was likely to be retired, so it was something of a surprise to find this. I never saw another NS painted GP 30, either SOU or NW. |

Still Southern, mostly |
| Description: |
Two years after the NS merger, there was still a lot of predecessor power around. This set was on a train at Danville KY on the Rathole. There's more to it than meets the eye. The leader is obvious, one of the unusual high short hood GP 30's only NW and Southern got; the third unit is ex Central of Georgia and carries its C of G number. The trailing unit is actually at home; it's sublettered for the CNO&TP. |

| Title: |
Four axle power |
| Description: |
Most of the through freights I saw this day had six axle power. One that didn't was this one, which came south with four 4 axle units. Interestingly for you numbercrunchers, the two units to the right had opposing numbers. Note GP 30, number 2625, and ahead of it, GP 35 2526. A GE rounds out the shot. |

Left on the main |
| Description: |
Two uaits work their set off into Pomona Yard as their train waits on the main. The Amtrak station at that time was at the yard office, with e small ticket window and waiting room. I got there around 1 PM that day, waiting for the northbound Crescent, which would arrive around 3:30 AM. I had a front row seat for hours of action ap trains stopped to make ~et offs and pick ups, and the yard engines did their thing in between. It was a great place to see the action. |

Strasburg power |
| Description: |
The power that was on the Strasburg Local that day is now back in Manassas, tied up for tomorrows activity. Note the type B trucks under the GP 35's, the result of being used from trade in Alcos. For those of you who remember when MTV used to actually run music videos, youll recall Steve Winwood had a song out in the early 80s called "Back In the High Life Again" that featured a Southern Railway train switching. This was the train, the rail sequences shot here in Manassas. |

Wheeling ex Southern unit |
| Description: |
Wheeling & Lake Erie had several ex Southern GP 35s. This one was at Mogadore. I caught it working while I was waiting for Rubbermaid to load me. They took forever, but it was not a total loss. |
