Among the trains we photographed on Norfolk Southern’s Pittsburgh Line (the old PRR Middle Division) at Cove, Pennsylvania was this eastward double-stack train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few minutes earlier I’d switched on my venerable scanner and heard the train calling signals, which had alerted us to its relative proximity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris and I had just caught a westward train (featured a few days ago on Tracking the Light) and as its last empty container flats were gliding by, the headlights of the eastward train came into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third unit on the train was Norfolk Southern’s SD70ACe 1072 painted for the Illinois Terminal\u2014one of many consituent railroads represented in the NS fleet by ‘heritage’ paint schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was neat to see it roll by, although after week\/months of hard service it seemed that it could benefit a trip through the washer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
