The Hat Trick

Description:  This was the third train in a four day span to come through Charlottesville with an ex-HLCX on the point. Here is 228 southbound, which snuck up on me, too. A minute later and I would have missed it.

NS 934 Loaded Herzog
Title:  NS 934 Loaded Herzog
Description:  Wasn't expecting a train here, just was driving by but saw the headlights comin' round the bend. Parked, hopped out and snapped some shots real quick. The track must not be level in this section because the engines are definitely leaning.

NS 52Z Grain Headed East
Title:  NS 52Z Grain Headed East
Description:  I was expecting a coal train to come through since it's very common, but this showed up instead. Loaded grain for South Carolina I believe. It would eventually make it's return through the area, 4 days later.

NS 214 (by surprise!)
Title:  NS 214 (by surprise!)
Description:  Shooting into the sun this way, I tried my best to get a decent shot. Next set of signals is the protecting the BB(CSX)/NS diamond in town, and there was an overhead CSX train coming through. 214 had to slow down and wait, for the empty coal train to clear. Blocked a road crossing for a while, the motorists weren't happy, even saw a guy jump across a car of the slow moving train....not very smart.

Title:  NS 11R through Charlottesville
Description:  Apparently the Buckingham Branch signals were giving the NS trains a bit of a problem this afternoon. 228 and 11R both got hung up for a bit trying to come across the diamonds.
