Great picture Todd. That is one of the area's I would railfan at when I lived in Lilly.

Few odds and ends from Wednesday April 13th...
All kinds of leased power running on NS these days (including a fleet of C40-8's leased from UP) and here are a couple of the others we frequently see

Word is NS 7206 will be back in service in a few weeks after all. Let's see in a couple weeks if she is back out pulling coal drags......

Caught this east bound the other day while me and the family were up in lilly. Was good to see a SD40-2 still in conrail blue.

Wish I had time to stop and get a picture today, there was a rather odd loco heading up a stack train at Wyo this morning. Definitely not the usual run through or leased power like UP, it was a real oddball, but I had no way to stop and grab a picture. Hopefully someone was shooting around Reading this morning and caught it.

East Bound with 1 NS Unit, 2 BNSF Units, & a 4 Banger Unit on the rear. This coal drag was moving at a fast pace for the amount of tonage it was hauling behind it.
