Eastern Railroad Discussion > I like this engine, NS SD70

NS 2566 SD70 leads 4014 grain train e/b having just crossed CP86 I like catching non wide body engines unless their Heritage.
Then a w/b Coke train out of Mingo Junction leaning into curve sanders running about to cross Lake Street.
I reel around and catch an e/b auto rack passing CP86 signals and again as it approaches Lake Street.
I shoot a w/b freight about to cross over Diamond Street and back to Lake for a w/b Stack Train. I hung out
with FEC2000 for about 3 hours we caught about 10 – 15 trains I got my identifiers all mixed up and FEC2000
will help me out here I’m sure.

That "4014" is not a valid NS symbol. 44D or 44T, maybe?

I'm sure you are right, Jeff had the radio and I thought that was what he said.
No big deal but I'm totally deaf in my left ear and have a hearing intolerance in my right
which means I don’t hear much of anything. That’s why I don’t always get the train identifiers
correct. Just saying, I smile and nod a lot Thanks Alan

GREAT set of pics!!!! Thanks for sharing.

excellent stuff Alan ... i really like the trains negotiating the super on the curves ... altho #1 is the best looking in my opinion #6 is my favorite of the bunch ... i always like that look of a leaning train on a curve ...

Thanks, another cool thing if you can catch at the right angle in a super you can eliminate the bright headlight glare or
ball of fire!

44T
414 w/b coke loads


Can't make out photo #3, but it's not a multi-level.
#4 is 18N
Can't make out #5, bridge sharp, train not :( I'd guess it to be 11K since it looks like there is a multi-level up front. Did it have empty muli-levels towards to rear too?
#5 guess is "maybe" 25Z.

I spy a small amount of blue showing on 2566. These looked sharp in Conrail paint, and I put the first miles on several of them on ATPI out of Altoona. Noisy, but rode smooth.

Thanks Roger, Jeff called #5 as 25Z and the 414 coke train, for me it was some what confusing some of the trains we saw, didn't post all of them,
414 18n 262 219 25Z 24m UPS then 20E Fedex. It was all a blurr.....:o) I went for the bridge in #5, train got in way.

Yeah, don't make a habit of it.........:o)
I wrote down all the numbers you told me I just got them mixed up.
You know I can't take myself anywhere.......

Wow! The clarity and sharpness of your photos are fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Well done Alan. The lean in photo #6 hows a little drama, especially with it being a stack train.
