At 12:18am on Tuesday, January 17th 2012, NS 61Z screams northbound through Landis, N.C. on NS's Charlotte District of the Piedmont Division with CSXT SD40-2 #8067 leading CSXT SD40-2 #8076 with 61 empty GALX(Georgia Power) coal hoppers. This train was interchanged from CSX to NS @ Charlotte and is bound for the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern railway in Pennsylvania. RBMN has purchased some of these GALX cars to supplement it's own coal fleet. Another one of these 61Z's had ran a week earlier (around 3am) with HLCX SD40-2 #7170 leading CSXT SD50-2 #8666 with 139 mty GALX cars.
