NS 3281
Title:  NS 3281
Description:  An NS work train and Interstate 20 both curve into one another. With the parade of trains on the rails of NS's East End from Birmingham to Atlanta and with the same yet more consistent parade of semi's along a nearly I-20 it's a game on competition wise. Who makes the grade within that is uncertain but in another term of grades, it looks as if I-20 has a stiff one here at mile marker 148 or M.P. 776.2 for NS at Brompton, AL.

NS 6814
Title:  NS 6814
Description:  NS 298 winds around the curve at Lovick with former BN 9207 leading. Stricken from the BNSF roster in 2014, it was bought by NS and was placed into service on September 4th the same year. Now only after just over 4 years of service the bipolar gawds at NS are selling the 9 ex BN SD60M’s off along with others on the roster.

NS 8794
Title:  NS 8794
Description:  NS 27A swings thru a curve at Oxford , AL with NS 8794 in the lead. These old sparty's are being renumbered and rebuilt a handful at a time. They were NS's first delves into the Dash 9 craze that swept the country but unlike other RR's NS would opt for standard cab equipped units. It was however with the arrival of NS 8889 in January 1996 that from that point onwards they would come equipped with the safety or wide cabs. Recently NS has begun a program to rebuild their first Dash 9's that were standard cabbed with safety cabs.All have since been retired since this image was taken.

Air And Light
Title:  Air And Light
Description:  NS 339 with its typical allotment of KCS power darts across a foggy Logan Martin Lake at Riverside, AL. The original intent was to have the reflection of the entire train but I had walked away for a moment while waiting and sure enough just as soon as I did so I got caught unprepared. The title of the image is that of a song by Steve Roach that I felt was befitting of the mood.

NS 2545
Title:  NS 2545
Description:  Before a large swath of storms would strike the area and wreak havoc later this day, NS 130 heads through Vance, AL under deceptively blue skies.I decided to work this local lumber mills sign in on an otherwise random image. With the temp already hitting the mid 90's and a fully running a/c, my other lenses kept fogging up internally so I had to turn to the 100x400 which gave me no problems but was a bit overkill and forced tighter shooting but it didn't slow me down none and gave me a chance to be a bit creative.

Description:  NS A64 scurries over the Coosa River at Riverside, AL. Up front today is an NS GP60. I’d planned for a reflection shot but Chuck The Duck made that a nil possibility. Were this March through October I’d be about 8’ or 3 meters under water.
