Eastern Railroad Discussion > KCS visits Virginia on NS 16T

On Wednesday January 5th, 2011, NS 16T had a beautiful pair of KCS SD70ACe's pulling the train.

First and second photo: NS 16T charges past the "Wysor" CPL's guarding the east end of passing siding at Dublin.
Third photo: 16T crests the grade into Christiansburg and past the "Pelton" CPL's in the late afternoon.

Does anyone know where this train is now? Been waiting in Allentown, PA since 630 this morning and have not seen or heard of it?

According to reports it is still on the lurgan at mp50 as of 11:30.

Does anyone have any idea if 16T stops in Enola for fuel or re-crew? Or will it keep highballing east to Allentown?

Doesn't go to Enola, makes a right at Capitol.

By Palmyra PA, heading east at 2:05pm. Lance

LOL we were following this trains prgress from gunton park to shawsville, we were workin on our layout the whole time, if we knew it was KCS units we would have stopped workin and went to take pics of it to.
