Title: NS 9944 West Tucker Siding
Post by: Ed Fury on December 23, 2010, 10:00:36 PM
9944 pulling a few MoW gondolas headed East running long hood forward. This is at the West end of Tucker siding yesterday @ 4:38pm. Talked to a NS police officer who was also on scene. He advised any photography or train watching be done from the public road on the North side of the rail which runs underneath the Waterson Trail overpass. On the South side is an old abandoned road that dead ends at a huge pile of ballast right at the railroad tracks. I think this was the old Waterson Trail before is was rebuilt and the overpass was put in. While I think this is still a public road and a public area I'm not pushing it. The trespassing fines and lawyer fees would buy a nice new camera I plan on getting next year.

NS 8734 and G?TX (? = unknown letter) 9043 with about 20 autoracks came through Westbound shortly after 9944 took the siding. And by then it was too dark for photographs.

Another standard cab at MP 286 crossing Stonybrook Dr. in Jeffersontown, Ky headed to the mixing center in Simpsonville.

Lou District has been busy all night and day hopefully I can catch a few more tomorrow.

That's GMTX 9043, a former Oakway SD60.
