Great pictures!    Both of those units are my fav of all them NS had done and they just so happen to be on point!   Have a picture of my son as a young kid standing in front of 8099 in Salisbury when they were all together there and he's now a senior in HS.   

Very NICE series!

Very nice train and photos!

Not a "air raid " siren, but it is the alerting siren for the Maugansville Volunteer Fire Co.
It is painted orange to match the company's trucks.
Photo taken 6/1/2023, just after N&W 611 passed westbound enroute back to Roanoke.

Well-crafted scenic images.

The feed storage shot is most impressive.  That's a big facility.

Very nice set, Bill!  Starting to really like the Virginian unit.
