Eastern Railroad Discussion > Harrisonburg, VA...."Chicken feed" for Norfolk SouthernDate: 07/02/19 15:57 Harrisonburg, VA...."Chicken feed" for Norfolk Southern Author: mp208 Virginia"s appetite for chicken and turkey is satiated by the poultry producers in the Shenandoah valley. Norfolk Southern keeps three crews busy in the Harrisonburg cluster serving up mid western corn to the large feed mills. A daily shuttle (V92) hauls the grain from Shenandoah-Elkton to Harrisonburg where two more crews are kept busy switching the various customers..
1. V92 departing Shenandoah 2. V92 arriving Harrisonburg 3. Shoving north into the yard Date: 07/02/19 16:08 Re: Harrisonburg, VA...."Chicken feed" for Norfolk Southern Author: mp208 4. V92 backing south onto his pick-up.
5. V92 departing eastbound, back to Shenandoah. Like a "well oiled machine".....the crew of V92 made these many moves and were only in Harrisonburg for a nominal forty minutes Edited 2 time(s).
