NS Manifest with Surprise UP Unit!

A Norfolk Southern manifest train blasts through Duluth with a Union Pacific SD70ACe in the consist! A woman walking her dog watches as the big GE seemingly appears from nowhere. This was shot from a neat little train-watching spot in town, with a wide grassy field and a memorial for the people who built the town of Duluth. There is a leading truck wheel from a steam locomotive embedded in the ground near the memorial plaque.

Filmed on January 6th, 2012 in Duluth, Georgia.

NS 7707 (ES40DC)
NS 8742 (C40-8)
UP 8573 (SD70ACe)

Wish you got 212 2 weeks ago. Had a UP Lashup with a ACe Leaing a GEVO and a SD70M. Also 203 with a SD60, UP SD70M, and UP SD70ACe. Got it last weeks. It was cool!

Nice catch! It's nice to see some Norfolk Southern footage from you.

I'll tell you, before 2008, CSX was my favorite railroad, but now I like Norfolk Southern the best. This is mostly because of paint schemes and road power. :)

[SpeakerPolice]

I do get out when I can. x3

CSX remains my favorite for now, just because of all their older power, including all those unmodified SD50s. :3

[RailWolf7306]

@SpeakerPolice But NS still has high-hood units. :D

Then again, CSX never really had any of those to start with, except for the few high-hood Chessie SD9s and such back then.

[SpeakerPolice]

Nah, it's no big deal x3

[SpeakerPolice]

You had me at SD80MAC. 8D

@SpeakerPolice Well, I'm not trying to be rude, or anything! =P
