[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Hawks05</i> <br /><br />cnwfan: do you ever get out and take some pictures? i'm jealous of you, you get to see NS power frequently. i probably won't be able to see it again until the summer, and then i'll be in baseball so i won't be able to take pictures. i can't wait till thursday, have the day off and the last 2 days a train has gone through at 10:30 in the morning during my 3rd hour class. we have a vent or something in that room that goes straight to the roof and you can hear the train perfectly clear. <br />[/quote] <br />Not to worry , I have taken quite alot of pix,then again I have missed a few locomotives that have come through like BNSF Dash9's and SD40-2's,quite a few ex Conrail (now NS) units,I have a picture of CSX GP 38-2 # 2700,a few leased HLCX units, some WC GP 7 or 9 units running,I have pix of all the WC special lettered units from the Operation Lifesaver to " the Flags of the WC railroad",a few pix of the ALCO RS 2's that came through town and sat there for a few hours in the night[:-,],dont even ask how I got them,but I got the pix,I have one of the new logo on a Norfolk Southern Dash 9-shows the black thoroughbred horse,alot of the WC SD45 units-yes they are still running and in frequent use lately,and then there are the derailment pix of when a Union Pacific 101 car coal train derailed in the Industrial track yard near the South entrance to the Shops yard.If you are interested in seeing some of these units,I'd be glad to e-mail you a small file that will have some selected pix. The only thing that I get angry about is when CN has locomotives of the DMIR or any other railroad line going South,and its at night. For those that are following the WC,]# 2500 has been sent to the scrapper's torch.Seems she "blew her top" . WC SD45 # 7498 is a helper unit on Byron Hill,and she is one nice clean unit as well.[8D]
