After Butch, EB and myself had finished up chasing the CSX Santa train last weekend, the boys wanted to go hang out at the big bridge at Copper Creek VA, where the NS and CSX cross the river together. Butch took a little hike up the hill, while EB and myself stayed down below. The light was all but gone by the time we heard a couple of trains on the radio.
We shot a Northbound CSX on the big bridge, and not long after, a CSX empty train came by down below on the NS mainline. Here are my artsy atempts of a silhouette. I guess a CSX train, on NS rails counts on this board?

IMO, a CSX train on NS rails does count. Heck, I've included CP trains on NS rails... and even shortlines that interchange with NS or have locomotives that had been owned by NS (or its predecessors). As long as there's a connection to NS, I think it's OK. Of course, I'm saying this as a poster, rather than a moderator... but I haven't seen the moderator object to any of my stuff yet.
Nice shots, BTW.
I aint gonna tell her she cant put something on here..I gotta live with her. If it comes to that, I will let Jason have the job, is to far away to suffer much damage ;)
Never underestimate the power of a redhead!
