Nice catch Evan.

What a shocking suprise. It's suprising to see a UP unit leading the Starlight, but seeing a NS unit of any kind lead this train is totally rare. In fact take a good look at this because we will probably never see this happen again.

That certainly was quite the train! glad you got a shot of it Evan! Great shot!

I knew you would get this thing. It kills me to have missed out on getting a shot of this event.

I was running this train. The weird thing is that the electric air brakes make no noise. On Amtrak, they've added artificial noise to the electric air brake. Too many Engineers complained. Also, this NS unit has the controls to the side instead of a desktop which made it a little more work.

@picklcat That's interesting to hear. I knew the Electric brakes didn't make noise, but to hear that they added a noise for it is pretty cool. I bet you enjoyed having a Freight motor to run that was actually maintained instead of some of the junk that you have to deal with normally.
