Well,it took long enough to finally catch some NS trains Under The Wires! Sorry guys,I missed 3 Hopper trains
in the last 2 weeks as NS was in "Stealth" mode and slipped by me. LOL
So instead of catching just one train,I was rewarded with 2 freights within' 20 minutes of one another!

In 9 more days it will be 10 Years(a Decade)since "Big Blue" ceased to exist as a Class 1 railroad.
And yet you can still get a "CRQ" Blue unit leading a train.Especially for me seeing a CR Blue unit "Under The Wires" on
Amtrak's NEC!!
