[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 775863, member: 10543"] Yay - after ten years I finally caught up with Norfolk Southern's Nickel Plate heritage unit today. This is a northbound train, so the sun is always in an awful spot for photography, but I know of a short segment on the line that runs east/west and it affords nice light. The Nickel Plate Road ran from Buffalo to Chicago and St. Louis. It was built in the 1880s to very high standards, leading a newspaper Editor to write that the railroad was a double tracked, nickel plated road. He coined a nickname that stuck.
