Date: 04/01/15 07:00 Re: When You Have Spare Time... Author: csxmonsubfan Some interesting observations about the last photo. There is white paint transfer on the coupler and the nose and the guy on the ground is packing heat. Maybe he is a police officer.
What is the story with NS 8501 and 8502? I am not familiar with either. Date: 04/01/15 13:01 Re: When You Have Spare Time... Author: NSDash9 csxmonsubfan Wrote:

They are rebuilding GE Dash 8-40C's with NS-designed wide nose and cabs, upgraded engine emissions, etc. None have been completed and put into active service yet. The 8501 and 8502 were being shipped to Altoona, where they are currently undergoing emissions testing. Chris Toth NSDash9.com |
