Title: NS Genset lashup in Pittsburgh
Post by: conrail kid on February 24, 2008, 11:30:30 PM
Got lucky with this one. my passenger in the car heard NS 100 call out 3 step on the scanner and quickly we narrowed down where he could be. we played a hunch and nailed it. much to our surprise. NS 100 was waiting for his orders, and we found him in the Island Avenue Yard, along with 5461 and even more of a surprise, NS 101. all in a perfect light and not coupled to a train.

here are a few.

they werent coupled to a train because a couple railpower reps were doing a ride along to figure out why they cant keep them running.  5461 was only there to take them back to conway if they broke down. even though i dont care for them they look kinda cool at night with all the LED lighting on them.
