HD : Railfanning the NS Memphis West District featuring an "Admiral" cab SD40-2 leading 16A

Описание: Yes another long "catch up" compilation video. :D 22 trains on the Norfolk Southern Memphis West District filmed between 10/14 and 10/25 in Germantown TN. Highlights are a "Heritage II" SD70MAC leading a coal drag, a High & Wide train, ex-Southern High Hood on the local, and a old SD40-2 leading long manifest train. First time I've seen a NS SD40-2 lead 16A.

0:31 - 16A heads east on a cloudy Friday afternoon with a pair of Dash9's.
1:31 - 23N with a GE duo running elephant style.
2:12 - More D9's on 22N....
3:10 - Loaded coal races by my usual filming spot at MP 536 with a H2 AC44 in the lead.
4:32 - Extra 22N with a sweet ex-Conrail pair!
5:27 - More NS GE's....391
6:23 - More GE's...16Z
7:23 - Loaded TVA coal train with a H2 AC44' trailing
8:20 - Yet another D9 pair....22N. They were running slow thru the xing bc of the crossing malfunction, after they pass tho watch the smoke fly from the Dash9's as the engineer opens up the throttle!
10:30 - High-priority JB HUNT intermodal hurries west with a pair of BNSF GEVO's.
11:26 - NS 736
12:50 - Loaded Scherer coal passes the signal at Germantown on a sunny morning with a "Heritage II" SD70MAC in the lead.
14:29 - A trio of NS GE's running LHF head east by Germantown en route to Rossville where they'll turn the units on the wye and send them back to Memphis. The 3 NS will lead 22N the next day.
15:26 - A01 hurries east under a menacing sky with a ex-Southern high hood! First time seeing one on the local in 15 months!
16:14 - Turn up your speakers and listen to that old EMD SD40-2 as it leads a heavy manifest train by Germantown!
17:11 - A01 with that high hood and an awesome hornshow!
18:06 - 736 with a friendly engineer & NS DPU! Sorry for the camera shake...
19:28 - UP SD70ACe leads solo on 24J with the setting sun lighting up the train
20:35 - One more Dash9 pair for the vid! :P 23N
21:11 - 391 stopped on CD Smith Rd waiting for 23N to leave White Siding
21:29 - 736 with a "Pumpkin Special"
23:04 - NS SD70M-2 leads a short High & Wide load flanked by two buffer cars.
