    Thanks, Richard. It was early in the morning and the lighting wasn't that good. I think the Image Stabilization helped me pull it off.

    Somebody on another group said NS already has GEVO's up to # 7552! :eek: I guess I'd better look harder...

    Yes, nice catch Harold. That looks like a busy section of railroad.

    It is a busy stretch of track... Behind the train are the wye tracks that lead South towards Sanford. The train is on a track to head towards Raleigh, on the "H" line. The center track also has a switch to get to the H line (to eastern NC). Basically the center and right hand track are part of the NS mainline between Washington and Atlanta.

    Have you noticed an increase in traffic since the Conrail deal?

    I would guess we are seeing increases in traffic, but I don't know if it is a result of the Conrail deal.

    All the Conrail traffic has been settled in by now.
