Western Railroad Discussion > Norfolk Southern Around Ft. Madison Iowa (6920)

On Wednesday November 21, I made the extremely foggy 174 mile drive from Warrenton Missouri to Fort Madison Iowa in hopes to see Norfolk Southerns Veterans unit which was a success, NS 6920 was parked in BNSF's Fort Madison Iowa yard. The NS 6920 departed Ft. Madison around 11:14A heading east on BNSF train Q-FTMNSA3-21A. So here are some pics of NS 6920 and other NS trains I seen around Ft. Madison that day. Thanks for taking a look.

Nice pictures of the NS #6920. Even the ones in the fog look good.

Nice catch, esp. #2. Too bad it couldn't lead back.

Great series, #5 and 6 are Pretty cool!

Great pictures! I couldn't convince my Dad to drive up from Kahoka to grab some pictures for me so I guessed the fog was pretty thick.
