NS V31 power
Title:  NS V31 power
Description:  NS V31's power for the nocturnal rock train to the Vulcan Plant on the ex-NF&D line. That particular line is famous for running second-generation EMD diesels most of the time, although a GE is leading this time. B32-8 #3561 crawls east to head into the siding. Word has it that NS will be getting rid of the B32s soon! I certainly hope not, as I love these and I think they are beautiful units!

NS 233
Title:  NS 233
Description:  NS 233 approaching a spot outside of Suffolk, Virginia. The concrete foundation is where an N&W CPL signal once stood back in the day. Just behind the train is a curve, but after that, it's straight for the next 85 miles, no curves!

NS 228
Title:  NS 228
Description:  Right after 233, we headed home, and then the scanner crackled a message indicating that 228 was on his way. We took a detour back to downtown Suffolk and I grabbed this shot of him approaching the crossing west of the N&W station.

NS 228
Title:  NS 228
Description:  A horsehead catfish is in the lead. They're nice units, but I have to admit, I kinda get tired of seeing them all the time.

NS loaded coal
Title:  NS loaded coal
Description:  An NS loaded coal train rolls east just outside of Suffolk. I would've shot on the other side, but I didn't have any other choice, as there was not a good place to shoot on the other side. Technically, I was probably close enough to be trespassing on NS property, but this train was only doing maybe 25 miles per hour so it didn't really matter.

Description:  NS 228 heading east at the Nansemond-Suffolk Shooting Club crossing (aka Lake Meade Road). A repainted ex-Conrail C40-8W with a haunting and newly-replaced K5LAR24 horn is in the lead.

NS 23G
Title:  NS 23G
Description:  Here comes 23G, our last catch of the day, at the same location. The catfish in the lead had a BNSF-style K3LA horn, and gave a "Shave And A Haircut" on the horn. This train used to run autoracks, but not anymore.
