A few from NS this past weekend..

[John Owens]

My plans for the weekend were to chase the CSX Santa Train on the Kingsport Sub. from Shelby Ky. to Kingsport Tn. On my way over and back, I managed to find some NS stuff, here are a few of the pictures.

I caught NS 223 eastbound through Lawrenceburg on my way over Friday morning, they had CSX 7884 and NS 2670 for power. NS 8692 was local power in Lawrenceburg.

I found the NS local sitting in a yard, in Kingsport. NS 7014 and NS 5517 was the power, and NS caboose 555004 was with them.

The next morning, I shot a few trains on the Appalachia and Clinch Valley districts in western Virginia.

CEFX 7120 and CEFX 7077 with an empty hopper train, first west of Gate City Va. and then in Appalachia Va.
