NS 349 pulls up the hill and through the Durham Amtrak station with an spartan cab leader, with that classic RS3L blaring. NS GE D8-40C #8706 NS GE D9-40CW #9153
Excellent capture! I'm willing to bet this is an ex-Conrail unit that I probably saw in its classic blue color many times up here! Like the sound of the spitting air compressors.. typical early Dash 8!
@CP359 No she's not ex Conrail, she regular NS. Ex Conrail numbering for the D8-40C is 8300-8313. The horn might have come of a Conrail engine though.
