27V rolls across the Pacolet river in Converse, SC as threatening sky's loom over this empty auto rack train. It doesn't have very far to go. As it's destination is the BMW plant in Greer, SC.
27V continues south through Grover with SD40-2 6090 leading a ACe.
27V rolls through the trench in Gastonia with a fairly uncommon leader. These days seeing a 40-2 leading a road train is harder to come by. But is always a nice thing to see.
The shop employee uses a remote control to operate the track mobile pulling SD40-2 6090 onto the turntable.
The track mobile pulls SD40-2 6090 onto the turntable. The turntable got quite a workout on this morning with a wide variety of power at the shops.
Perfect power for this day's L51.
It's rush hour at Ashby as 11R blasts through on the main. 227 is on the siding and 228 is right behind 11R, making for a busy afternoon on NS's H Line.
Some more classic leaders.... A pair of SD40-2 lead 11R past the former Town tower. Note the CR style letters on the tower.
