Through the storm clouds and the shadows, NS 173 manages to find a pocket of sunlight just large enough to illuminate the lead unit. NS 173, an old symbol that used to run through the Piedmont on a daily basis, is once again plying the rails. Linwood, NC-Sheffield, AL 173 has replaced the Linwood, NC-Chattanooga, TN 348. Train 348 now runs from East Point, GA to Chattanooga, TN.
