Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS Loco with rock guards.Date: 11/19/24 15:30 NS Loco with rock guards. Author: Off-pending Friend sent me a pic of NS 4473 that is equipped with rock guards over the windshield and cab windows. Similar to units that travel to Mexico. Is this a one off? Or are there other units so equipped.

It is possible this loco returned from Mexico but they forgot to remove them. It has happened in the past. Date: 11/20/24 07:47 Re: NS Loco with rock guards. Author: JOHNY5ALIVE Really sad…

Upon closer look, it doesn’t look like a permanent fixture. Looks like they just hang on the grab irons. Interesting. Date: 11/20/24 14:35 Re: NS Loco with rock guards. Author: gandydancer4 Looks like it would be a great place to put a sniper's nest. I think that would work better than rock guards ;-)
