NS 213 Grover, NC Stop Taking Chances, People!

Vehicles continue to scurry across the tracks ahead of the southbound 213, even after the crossing arms drop down. We need Operation Lifesaver down here.

The locomotives appear to have a rather rough ride across the junction where the 2 tracks become 1. NS maintenance crews seem to work on that switch a lot. I wonder if the Town of Grover should be concerned about this.

There's some interesting cargo here, maybe truck or trailer chassis.

An ex-Conrail (you can tell by the horn, I think it's a Leslie R3SL) EMD SD60M leads the locomotive consist. It's followed by an ex-Union Pacific (now HLCX) SD60, and bringing up the rear is a Dash 9 40-CW. This train must have been at least 2 miles long.
