NS New River Districts - Roanoke Weekend Part 1

Back in mid June 2020, I took a weekend excursion out to Roanoke, VA and the Norfolk Southern New River Districts.
Consisting of the NS Chrisitansburg District (Ex N&W), and NS Whithorne District (Ex Virginian), these two subdivisions run into Roanoke, funneling traffic in from Bristol, Bluefield, and the Midwest.
NS 8114, the Original Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit, a rare N&W High Hood SD40-2, and NS 1800 can be spotted among other nice consists.
Sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery and long trains, as they battle the NS New River Districts in and out of the "Star City".
