Passenger Trains > From the Rear Window: NS in IndianaDate: 06/01/20 09:58 From the Rear Window: NS in Indiana Author: bandob Date: 06/01/20 15:32 Re: From the Rear Window: NS in Indiana Author: NYC4096 Great shot, B&OBill. At least the NS locomotive was on the other track!
One of the first times I rode the Capitol Limited in the 80's, in the middle of a foggy night we were stopped somewhere south of Pittsburgh. I took a look out the rear window and not far down the track (our track) was a Conrail UBoat sitting there quietly with marker lights on and headlight/ditch lights off. It was a scary sight, seeing the big, menacing locomotive idling up close and personal. Good thing he was just sitting there and not smashing the back of our train! |
