Got a heads up Thursday afternoon to get trackside to catch this standard cab headed my way.

I also caught 1058, again, this time leading an empty coal train headed back to Indiana for a reload.

And the same day this Eastbound coal train with a former Conrail unit on point. Black hoppers, black coal, black engines.. this was one nice train in my personal opinion.

T79 with NS 7571 which went out the next day as the dpu on NS 23G.

I still have to get used to NS using high horsepower road units on local short trains. Nothing like seeing a 4,400 horsepower unit pulling a couple of autoracks.

Nice catch on the standard cab. NS seems to like using them on auto rack trains because I saw another one (#6563) leading 287 in Buffalo recently.
