Gandalf: The Strasburg 8616 in your screen, was former Lewisburg & Buffalo Creek 1500. My dad used to work on that in the early days of the West Shore Railroad. The West Shore ran passenger service with an ex-PC SW1 #8525 renumbered to West Shore 9425. He worked dinner trains with the SW1 and the 1500. He always said the 1500 ran louder than even the GP30. (Oh, the Conrail 2233, GP30 that's at Strasburg, that was once PRR and ran on the West Shore as well :D).

Now, on to the real reason I came here. Am in progress of updating Chris Racer's Lincoln Secondary. I'm turning Brownstown yard into a small locomotive facility. Here's a screenie:

NS 175 rumbles across TenBridge into Chattanooga, Tennessee as the sun sets.
Its been a long, tiresome run from Burnside, KY and this crew is happy to be only a mile away from the end of their shift.
Somehow the BNSF power got shuffled onto 175 at Elkhart. The power will be swapped at Chattanooga for a couple of Dash 9's, the BNSF power will head down to Birmingham via the AGS District.

Cheers,
Woody

NS 124 (Chattanooga, TN - Decatur, IL) is moving right along north out of Dayton, Tennessee. Crew is happy to have the clear all the way up to Rockwood, no need to stop in Evensville or Spring City.
NS 25J is holding at Spring City with empty southbound autoracks waiting on 124.

Cheers,
Woody

NS 124 is still rolling along at a steady pace of 55 miles per hour as it moves through Evensville, Tennessee.
A couple of neighbors chat about the upcoming Daytona 500 race after getting their mail.

Cheers,
