On you first question. Almost every unit has its own distinctive little feature. <br />Some have some big differences. You should be able to tell a GE unit from an EMD unit. Some smaller railroads (like ARR) have the special number pattern- usually first number means the amount of horsepower in thousands (ex.- in 2073 2 is the first # so engine might have 2000hp ) That doesn't apply to big rr companies- like BNSF's SD70MACs thay start with 9, but don't have 9000hp. <br />That method doesn't work all the time. What i do is compare pictures of locos and how each is different. <br /> The two NS locos you have seen might be -- i'll make a bad guess -- Gp38 or something around. I'll stop here.
