Caught this tacked on the end of NS 215, a Northbound intermodal train in Danville, KY. Any one ever seen this before? Three axle 53 foot trailers, no less. And how about those trucks?         These things apparently are operated by Trailer Bridge Inc http://www.trailerbridge.com/ and carry TRBU reporting marks. Couldn't find out anything about them on their web site.

Great pictures guys. I have never seen three axle trailers on a train before. Thanks for sharing those with us. Has anyone been out lately? I did catch NS CB10 a couple weeks ago running the altoona branch. The only reason i knew it would be there was because before my brother clocked in for work he called me and told me he would be on that train for the day. Once I find the pictures among all the ones I have taken of trains over the past couple weeks I will post them.

Here's one you don't see on NS any more. A C32-8 phtographed in Danville, KY, May 18, 1989

Here is a front view of NS CB10. The train was moving backwards towards duncansville.

A couple of odds and ends from August 10th, 2011....
10,000th Roadrailer on NS 264 leaving Danville, KY    
NS 8037 ES44AC - DPU engine on NS train 792    
Fueling the DPU - after the two units on the head end were fueled the utility man counted off the 100 cars to spot the DPU unit by the fuel truck    
CP ES44AC No. 8889 leads NS 376 through Georgetown, KY. CP and CN units are rare on trains through here although they do make an appearance now and then

Hey Todd, was you down near conpitt a couple days ago. If you was there should have been a train that arrived there with a set of helpers on the front and rear. My brother was conductor that day. They had a problem when the rear helpers hooked up in conemaugh and they had to stop twice because when they hooked up they broke a knuckle. They had to stop twice because of the problem. They got another set of helpers somewhere outside of conpitt. Not sure where though. Let me know.

BTW Great Pictures Guys.

Helper set headed West on the Pittsburgh Line near Jeanette,Pa. today around 1;30pm.

Hello Everyone---I've been following this thread regularly but haven't been able to contribute any pictures until today---I caught these NS diesels heading east through Bayview today on train 435

Great Pictures Nutbar. Well the other day I did see a Canadian Pacific locomotive leading a NS train through Cresson, Pa. The sad thing is, I did not have my camera with me but my daughter ( araina ) got to see it with me also. Yes my almost 2 year old daughter still loves trains.
