Скачать или смотреть Back to Back Goodies on The NS Lafayette District

The NS Lafayette District is quite busy most of the time, and back to back trains are commonplace. On Good Friday, I caught two back to back trains, each with an excellent assortment of cars and power. First came 35N with 4005 leading 1073 which looked a bit worse for wear, and a UP Evo. This is the first time to my knowledge that I've seen two specially painted units in the same train. 35N also had an excellent mix of cars. Then came 255 with a BNSF fakebonnet in charge. Not a bad 30min of railfanning if you ask me.
