Tied down for the weekend is the Amnicola Branch line on the run-around track just outside of the Nouryon Surface Chemistry plant. NS AC27-31 has cars for the Central South Industrial park serving plants such as Woodbridge, Hamilton Plastc, NA Industries, Foodliner, and LJT Tennessee as needed. The power is sorta a treat, as the lead motor of the train is a rebuilt GP38-2 NS 5170, well you can tell what this guy at one time use to be, before being sent off for a major overhaul. The job will wait here til the beginning of the week as most of the business is open, and ready for shipment.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
