NS 8466, 7264, 8883
Title:  NS 8466, 7264, 8883
Description:  In perfect evening sunlight, a SWP loaded sand train using run-through locomotives from Norfolk Southern is crossing the Greene Junction bridge over the serene Youghiogheny River. The locomotives are a C40-8W, SD90MAC (former UP), and a C40-9. As far as I know this is the first time a SD90MAC has been on this rail line. The train number is Z687-05, because it is coming off the CSX Keystone Subdivision on the other side of the river.
