Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 92X With 2-GREX Dump Train SetsDate: 02/09/19 09:55 NS 92X With 2-GREX Dump Train Sets Author: NSSpike Yesterday NS ran a ballast train symbol 92X (MACON, GA – KNOXVILLE, TN) that consisted of two GREX Dump Train sets. First time I have seen one, let alone two of these interesting material handling trains making a move around these parts. The below link has a good video of this equipment in action along with a detailed data sheet.
https://georgetownrail.com/Material-Handling/DumpTrain Seen here yesterday at Rockmart Georgia north bound on the NS North Atlanta District. #1. NS #9138 with a bit of over-spray from the painting of the handrails leads 92X. #2. The first section was GREX 2600 @ 960ft at about 12 cars. #3. The second section, a newer one, GREX 9900 at 370ft at seven cars.

That rear newer set can be unloaded in curves.
