NS 9619

Another shot of train 234 as it continues east over Bridge #7 on main #1. Notice the amount of power heading up this train.

NS 2571

Another shot of NS 2551 motoring down Main #1. The speed limit sign was hard for me to read...... Besides, the train was doing 50 and nobody pulled him, right?

NS Exibit Car

NS Main #1 and Main #2 between Norfolk and Crewe run through Windsor, VA. When the city had its 100th birthday 5/04/02, NS brought in its Exibit car. A restored 1929 Pullman, it contained an interesting series of NS Exibits. Best viewed in 1024 X 768 mode.
