That last photo is sort of close to my neighborhood (if 2 hundreds miles is close). It is beautiful to see the colorful autumn splendor gracing the, what I consider, our "Blah Black NS Things". Funny as I type, after 11 PM, I hear our Blah Black NS things hauling what sounds like the usual 9 PM slab gondolas westward by my home, NS 38G by any other name. It didn't sound exactly right. Whatever blah Black Things making noise.
Thanks for the posts you have been putting up.

How our perceptions differ eh? Seeing NS black locos is the opposite for me as I'm so used to BNSF pumpkins in the Southwest. I'm going to have to visit the East coast again to get some more shots at some point in the future. However, no matter what the coiour, I always love hearing trains, no matter where i am. One of the great joys of being a fan.

Nice catch. NS units have enough white on them to make them fine to photograph.

Yes I agree with this take.

Now Penn Central and CR patched PC, that was boring. In between: late era NYC and PRR (the cigar band and keystone provided a wee bit of color).

I like Pic 1!!
