Western Railroad Discussion > New NS Tier IV's in KC: A LOT of them!Date: 03/25/17 21:12 New NS Tier IV's in KC: A LOT of them! Author: bnsfsd70 Within the past week, a number of Norfolk Southern's new, Ft. Worth-built ET44AC's have somehow found their way onto the coal trains to-from the NS in Memphis.
On Wednesday, I caught this southbound coal load running out of Murray Yard for the Ft. Scott Sub. The units were in a 2+2 arrangement, with the 3654, 3652, 3656, and 3650 doing the honors. - Jeff Carlson Date: 03/25/17 21:19 Re: New NS Tier IV's in KC: A LOT of them! Author: bnsfsd70 Not to be outdone, today, an awfully bizarre move came rolling north up the Ft. Scott Sub in Kansas City. There weren't just four GEVO's on this one. Oh no, there were NINE of them! How in the world this train ended up with nine brand-new NS GE's on it is beyond me, but I was thrilled to be able to photograph it today, along with a number of other local railfans.
This train's consist was as follows: NS 3660 NS 3659 NS 3667 NS 3664 NS 3666 NS 3651 NS 3665 BNSF (Booooooooo!!!) 9978 NS 3661 NS 3668 Enjoy, and happy hunting! - Jeff Carlson Date: 03/26/17 05:23 Re: New NS Tier IV's in KC: A LOT of them! Author: ns1000 Nice shots!!
I'm sure some of the nine were DIT..... Date: 03/26/17 06:01 Re: New NS Tier IV's in KC: A LOT of them! Author: jmbreitigan Nice series of all those new locomotives.

Any idea on the route these are taking from Ft. Worth to the NS in... Memphis?

Author: gmojim NS has received the new units in Memphis, sent them to Chattanooga to be setup for service. Then the units were placed on BNSF empty coal trains in Sheffield AL or Chattanooga to be sent west for service on the RWSX Scherer coal trains. NS owes BNSF a lot of horsepower hours.

NS sure does look good when they are new and shiny clean like that.
