NS 387
Title:  NS 387
Description:  NS 387's headlights can be seen approaching Lake Meade Road in Suffolk, Virginia. I like this spot, it's very peaceful.

NS 387
Title:  NS 387
Description:  Although I was quite disappointed to see a run-of-the-mill Catfish leading, I loved the P135R24 horn!

NS 387
Title:  NS 387
Description:  I remember when 387 was a very short train. It used to be 427 until NS changed the symbol for some reason that I can't remember. It seems that he's been getting longer in length recently.

NS loaded coal
Title:  NS loaded coal
Description:  Another headlight is approaching the crossing just less than two hours later, this time eastbound loaded coal. Note the yellow colorlight on the right which can barely be seen. This portion of the line is all ABS signalling. Apparently despite 387's speed, he still hasn't completely cleared the block yet...

Description:  Here's the power for one of the ex-NF&D Franklin District trains. It's kinda rare to have GE power on this line. Normally it's EMD power.

NS empty hoppers
Title:  NS empty hoppers
Description:  Finally, some fairly decent power! An empty hopper train comes around the curve. It has two ex-Conrail C40-8Ws, a C40-9W, and an SD40-2 (the infamous 6080).

NS 228
Title:  NS 228
Description:  NS 228 approaching Lake Meade Road coming down the "rollercoaster" track. Just behind the train is Old Myrtle Road, a crossing that I tried going to a few years back, and have no interest in going back to it. It's a one-lane, curvy road, not to mention it's very isolated.
