Throwback



I haven't seen a lashup like this in 15 years! P84, the Linwood-Pomona turn heads south with plenty of power.

Snow Day

Finally, some snow in North Carolina! Even a dusting makes things more interesting. Here's NS 213 coasting downgrade towards Jamestown.
As usual, an inch of snow brings the entire city to a halt. Even the Piedmont is running an hour and a half late this morning.

A Morning on the Danville District

Here is a short video I shot on Dec 23, 2008 of what is most likely NS 213 on the approach to Aycock followed by a northbound unit gon train. Next we have Amtrak 80 at the Hilltop Rd. crossing then 213 again, this time climbing the grade south from CP Cox.

Hilltop

Sometimes cloudy days are good for train photography. This angle has a nasty backlighting to it when the sun is out, so I like to come here when it's not. Telephoto enhances the grade leading south from CP Cox to the new bridge that crosses I-40. NS 159 follows the double track project that is underway for a 10 mile section between CP Cox and Hoskins. The idea is to ease congestion around Pomona Yard and the K and H lines that terminate there.
