By virtue of their service requirements, road switchers are intended as bi-directional locomotives. That said, it still looks a bit strange to find a single Norfolk Southern SD60E working the New Holland Branch local.

The other day, Kris, Seamus-the-Dog, and I found NS 6987 working long hood first at Leola, Pa. I thought this made for some interesting photographs, but I don’t think Seamus was impressed.

During the course of my railroad photography, I aim to preserve ordinary day-to-day railroad working, as well as preserved railways, special events, and unusual and unique occurrences.
