Norfolk Southern
October 2002
Macon, Ga.


Arkwright, Ga.
I get an early start. The sun has not risen from the fog that formed around the Ocmulgee Valley. NS 230, Jacksonville-Chicago just cleared the power plant.


Gordon, Ga.
NS 932? by the Southern Depot which is in the process of being renovated.



NS yard SE, Macon, Ga.
An unknown NB freight lead by NS 6716 still in Conrail colors heads to the receiving yard.


On its way up, it meets a yard job.


NS 6716 CR


As the northbound freight was slipping into the yard, this southbound was getting in position. First in line for take off, says the dispatcher.

On the southbound freitght, I catch this centerbeam from...Midsouth!!!!


On the way home, I make the obligatory stop at the diamond in Cordele. I catch this one going through town, then position myself in Ashburn.
