This was going to make a run down Brown Street to collect a car from the Norfolk Southern interchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We set up about midway down the street. The Alco was preceded by a trainman with a flag as I exposed this group of digital photos using my Nikon Z7-II with 24-70mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
