Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS T79 with NYC 1066Date: 11/20/12 15:44 NS T79 with NYC 1066 Author: srman Sort of stumbled into this guy this afternoon as a NS turn job between Louisville Ky. and Shelbyville headed east
by Veechdale Ky. with the NYC unit running long hood forward with one car. I waited for the return trip but thicker clouds and a setting sun ended that. For the past several weeks the unit has been serving the southwestern Indiana coal mines.  Date: 11/20/12 16:15 Re: NS T79 with NYC 1066 Author: jmbreitigan Nice, real nice. Cool to see it long hood forward.
