(The date (year) on the camera is wrong.) The first train, NS 172, had a helper, an unmanned DPU in the middle, a sight I seldom see in these parts. NS Piedmont Division, milepost 411.

  • Correction to this train = This is NS #172. Also at that time NS and GE were going through a test period with a computerized "Distributed Power" (helpers). For that period, NS used train 172, because it was a straight run from Burmingham, AL to Linwood, NC. Which means this train's consist dosen't change during the trip. All of our other mixed freight trains makes stops at different citys along the way. Mixed freight trains #'s usually start with 1. Even #'s go north & odd #'s go south. Be Safe.
