Classic GE
Passing inbound NS 733 which is running north on the main 1 track, NS 175 (Bellevue,OH-Macon,GA) is accelerating up grade on the main two track with a ratty GE D8-40C at the head sporting the Norfolk Southern's unibrow paint scheme, and equipt with a roof top a/c unit which give these unit the strange nickname "tophats." CT-Dispatcher has the Macon bound manifest lined all the way to control point Ooltewah, where the train will diverge from the main 2 track to the main 1 track on the the NS Atlanta North End (H-Line) where the North-End dispatcher will take charge of train traffic operation from Ooltewah south.
Looking back down memory lane at the last generation of GE spartan cab which includes the six axles C series and four axles B series throughout the various of Class 1 Railroads in North America throughout the years.
