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.

Unexpected Coal Train
Title:  Unexpected Coal Train
Description:  Driving down the gravel road near my house, this happened to come on by while I was standing on the old wooden bridge over the tracks. It was a loaded PGNX hopper train, and I think it's symbol was 766, but I'm really not sure.

Same Train, Different Day
Title:  Same Train, Different Day
Description:  Got lucky again and caught the return train of the previous shot, with the power running in the opposite direction. Pretty quick turn around time. I believe this would be the 767, if the previous symbol was correct
