NS 173 at Landis, NC 4/14/01
Author: KNTower

Landis, NC is one of the more photogenic locations on the NS Washington-Atlanta mainline. The small town is located at Milepost 345, about thirty miles north of Charlotte. Trees line the tracks, the lawn is usually well kept, and a gazebo opposite the station makes for a pleasant place to watch trains.

Here at 2:42PM NS train 173P314 heads south behind an ex-Conrail SD60 and two other NS units. Power is 6705/2550/6633 (SD60/SD70/SD60).

Very Nice. Looks a little warmer than up here in Indiana. Whats the status on the depot?

Thank you...

The depot and the town's original post office are in a small historic area alongside the tracks.

In the mid-70s, a Southern streamlined sleeper-obs-lounge car was stored at Landis. Is it still there?
