xyz 123 General Nice catch & nice shot, William. 2/25/2011 10:27:06 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Ryan, Fought hard to shoot this train in sunlight. It was mostly cloudy with some sucker holes, thankfully I got lucky the sun came out in a few of those sucker holes so I could shoot this rare unit. I wish NS would produce lots of these beauties as oppose to all those GE widecabs 2/25/2011 10:34:21 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Jefferey, Yeah, I know what you mean. I couldn't believe it when I saw it, hope I didn't ruin your video when I said OH SH*! when I recognized what the unit was. Almost didn't get that Grimes shot. A55 met 172 at Coaling & A55 barely left in time for me to shoot the train in a small sun patch. I got a few telephoto shots at 14th Street, but more of a nose shot & couldn't see the trucks, side or flared radiators, so tried for better angles at Vance & Grimes so I could get more of the side. Glad it worked out. NS has only a few of these, 4000 & 4001 2/25/2011 10:41:36 AM
