This is where it all started for me. This now closed grade crossing on the south end of Charlotte Yard was where my dad and I would go to watch trains 20 years ago. Many rolls of film were exposed here and some great images were captured. One of my favorites is a simple wedge shot of a then common seven engine consist leading a train south out of town. On the point was NS GP40X 7001 and 7000, two of three built by EMD in June of 1978. I didn't realize at the time that this would be the greatest lashup of engines I would see here. The rest of the consist was NS GP50 7092, NS SD40-2 3310, NS GP59 4608, SOU B30-7A1 3513 and NS GP49 4603.
