NS 6728 (1)
Title:  NS 6728 (1)
Description:  This engine was reportedly in an accident with a tractor-trailer, according to the PittsburghChannel.com (WTAE). Their article was posted November 25. According to the article, a truck carrying a forklift was stuck on the tracks and the train was unable to avoid him. The accident was in Fredericktown, PA on Old Route 88. Hazmat was called, as apparently the fuel tank has a leak. No injuries were reported. Seen in the Norfolk Southern West Brownsville Yard. In the background is NS 5147 and Conrail 5328. Thanks to the Norfolk Southern maintenance crew for allowing me to take photos. This engine has now been painted black.

NS 5328
Title:  NS 5328
Description:  One of the rare GP38-2's that is still in blue, sitting pretty in the NS West Brownsville Yard. A former Conrail/Penn Central 8156 built in October 1973. I was on a quest to photograph this one ever since a year ago when it was in this yard but it was too far back for me to get a proper portrait of it. Photographed with permission. This has now been repainted to black, sadly.

FURX 5563, CSX 8049, CSX 7602
Title:  FURX 5563, CSX 8049, CSX 7602
Description:  Things sure have been strange on the Keystone Sub lately. Here we have a GP38-2 leaser taking autorack train Q277-19 out of Conenellsville on a rainy day. There were very few locomotives choices available in the yard, and the other two engines on this train are not even facing the correct way to be able to lead. Stranger yet is this was a former NS engine that has only had the logos removed. Originally built as NW 4137 GP38AC (high hood) in June 1971.
