NS 40N, a loaded grain train, is charging eastward through the “Egg Basket of the Midwest,” Mentone, IN on a very cloudy and gray afternoon. Mentone has a population of about 950 people but it has a nice small town charm about it as well as an egg festival every spring. The NS Chicago District is part of the old Nickel Plate Road route that extended from Chicago to Buffalo. It came under control of Norfolk & Western in 1964 when N&W took control of the NKP, Wabash and Pittsburgh & West Virginia.
The grain was loaded in Starke County, IN northeast of here and is destined to Virginia. The 96 car train is headed up by a pair of AC44C6M’s 4718 and 4557. The information I have says the crew was on duty at 430 in the morning and at this hour was racing to reach Fort Wayne, IN, about 40 miles east of here before going dead on the hours of service at 430pm. The engineer has a good roll on them so if opposing traffic and good dispatching allows, they have a good chance of at least reaching the yard.

And so it goes,
