Article #1: NS 946 w/ ES40DC 7668 & SD60E 6995 (12/21/2024)

 

This is our first article on the blog and here we are looking at NS 946 in the passing siding at the West End of Oyama Yard with ES40DC 7668 and SD60E 6995 back on December 21, 2024. These two locomotives normally run local P60 between Oyama Yard and Salisbury, but here they were moving some ballast hoppers from the passing siding into the yard.

SD60E 6995 trailing second. Here, they are coupling up to the hoppers preparing to move them into the yard.

These ballast hoppers are older ones. This string of cars has a mix of both old and new ballast hoppers.

Here are some of the newer hoppers.
