Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - bdw9535 - 06-17-2011 NS stone train 66K with 50 cars in the siding at Winslow, NJ June 17,2011 Bruce Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - csiguy68 - 06-19-2011 9387 East through Cresson, Pennsylvania on 6-15-2011. Todd Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - Brakie - 06-29-2011 I had a great morning railfanning the Col/San area here in Bucyrus. After 2 freight trains NS OCS train showed up and rounded the Northeast connector on its way to Creatline and Conway. Then a real rarity.A NS train rounding the Southeast connector heading East toward Crestline and another one about to head around the Northeast connector heading toward Bellevue.

'Nuff said.... Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - Brakie - 07-05-2011 And I was just across town from Larry: --------------------- Yeah,that's no man's land..They watch that area due to the propane tank. That picture of the 2 NS trains rounding the connector was my last shot..My camera died and made a weird high pitched screeching noise..I got to get a new one.

Yeah,railfans do go there and no one bothers them..I went there once and was told to move along nothing here to see. There's another public area in the Crossroads industrial park by the lake.This is better for afternoon and evening shots-I suppose cloudy mornings as well-since its on the West side of the tracks.A telephoto lens or zoom will help unless one want to hike half way around the lake... After talking to my neighbor lady about by camera she wanted to take a look at it..She took the thing apart,cleaned,adjusted and here's the result. She's a retired camera technician. Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - FCIN - 07-10-2011 Photographed at Danville, KY, July 9, 2011, and looking a bit worse for wear is this former Conrail GP-38-2 in Operation Lifesaver paint. And a rear view showing yellow cab door and missing paint on hood Here's NS 7700 an ES40DC running as the DPU unit on 22A And finally a classic former SOU GP38-2 high hood working the West Yard on TD-02 Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - ngauger - 07-10-2011 Nice pics!! i always liked the Operation Lifesaver Paint Schemes... Thanks for posting!!! Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - FCIN - 07-10-2011 ngauger Wrote:Nice pics!! i always liked the Operation Lifesaver Paint Schemes... Thanks for posting!!!You're most welcome. I was tickled pink to see that former Conrail in the Operation Lifesaver scheme. Shame they did such a crappy patch job on it; but since it was on a train headed for Birmingham, AL, next time I see this unit, it will most likely be black and white! Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - LiveSteamer - 07-10-2011 Great photo's Ed. There is only about 73 or 74 active Conrail units left in blue yet. They are fading very fast into the NS paint. I caught one tonight in Lilly, Pa heading east on a mixed freight Re: Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR - FCIN - 07-10-2011 LiveSteamer Wrote:There is only about 73 or 74 active Conrail units left in blue yet.
