I caught up with NS's Pennsylvania Railroad "Heritage" unit this afternoon in Columbia, SC. I was thrilled to find it leading the train. The weather was overcast, but I can't complain.

Great catch Sandpatch! :encouragement:

Just a lowly NS generic locomotive.

Whoa, a shiny 7603 and mostly graffiti-free auto racks too. Nice!

Cross posted - also in my 2018 thread. After owning this lens for a while, I was finally able to get a few train photos. I always enjoyed seeing heavy equipment photos taken by [MENTION=4399]Rick M[/MENTION] with this lens.

Seen last week in Chester, SC, Lancaster & Chester 6002, an EMD SD40T-2 built in May 1980 for the Southern Pacific. These were specially designed with a large cooling air intake you can see at the rear, down low along the walkway. Nicknamed "Tunnel Motors", the relocated intake brought in cooler air from tunnel sides to reduce engine temperatures. It's likely the 6002 will never see another tunnel, but her new owner will appreciate her 3000 HP. Business is booming on the L&C!

Seen the same day on NS is this strange visitor from another planet, a custom-rebuilt locomotive owned by Herzog to serve work trains. Herzog contracts with railroads for services such as tie replacement. My guess is that her unusual side blisters contain a double serving of diesel fuel, allowing work to continue in remote locations. I'm not sure though.

I'm guessing that alien locomotive has it's cloaking device on.

I edited my post to upload the image again. Yep, it's those darn Romulans. Hopefully it will stick this time.

The Do Not Hump on the front made me laugh!

That's quite the piece of equipment. Looks like it was Geep in its past life. Great catch Sandpatch.

Thank you and you're right Chuck. It was idling and the sound from within its strange contours was pure EMD.

Taken today at Enoree, SC, a CSX baretable train makes its way south.
