  • Well, here it is, my annual round-up of what I considered to be my best catches over the past year, and at least I got it out within the month of January. The Class Is were much more boring this year, powerwise, but NS did run quite a bit of good stuff. However, I did get to record a bunch of cool crossings, so that makes up for it.
    Anyways, here's why each clip was included:
    1. My first train of 2018 was actually a nice way to start-off, with an Operation Lifesaver SD40-2 pulling A81.
    2. Catching NS 322 in the snow.
    3. First NERR freight I ever caught.
    4. First Music City Star train I ever caught.
    5. SD40-3 leading a southbound CSX mixed freight in Athens.
    6. First time catching a B40-8W.
    7. First time catching one of the TCRM's trains (though with a set of NERR B40-8Ws).
    8. SD60I leading a westbound intermodal train.
    9. NS Veterans Unit trailing on NS 173.
    10. FRA Inspection Train (though in hindsight, I probably should've gone after the standard-cab Dash-9 I heard was leading to the west of here).
    11. KCS AC44CW and KCS SD70MAC pulling NS W62.
    12. KCS SD70MAC leading an NS mixed freight.
    13. NS SD60E leading an NS mixed freight.
    14. CSX SD70MAC leading a CN ES44AC.
    15. Ex-CSX Dash-8 leading NS 201.
    16. CSX Dash-9 leading CSX mixed freight.
    17. First time catching a GP39-2 leading.
    18. A massive 12 engine lash-up on NS 107.
    19. NS Dash-8 leading NS 362.
    20. The NS OCS at night.
    21. The NS OCS loaded with the NS's top executives.
    22. SD80MAC leading NS 362.
    23. ACWR ex-CN SD60Fs trailing on NS 362.
    24. NS SD60I leading
    25. NS Dash-8 leading an empty NS coal train.
    26. Managing to catch a train on the CSX Dothan Subdivision.
    27. Catching the Bay Line Railroad.
    28. NS 162 with a pair of ex-BN SD60Ms leading.
    29. Catching HMCR 3986.
    30. Chasing trains on the NS NA District/NS 264 with two BNSF H2 Dash-9s for power.
    31. NS 737 with an BNSF H2 AC44CW leading.

    33. Ex-CSX/Conrail Dash-8 leading NS 162
    34. Ferromex SD70ACe trailing on NS Coal Train
    35. Catching the TSRR's first pair of new GP38-3s on one of their first runs.
    36. Ex-CSX Dash-8 leading NS 201.
    37. Jersey Central Heritage Unit trailing on NS 362.
    38. Catching the Loram Rail Grinder in Decatur.
    39. NS 107 with an ex-CSX AC6000CW trailing. What's most notable about this one is that the engine was the last AC6000CW I saw leading on the CSX.
    40. UP Triclops SD60M leading NS 26Q.
    41. Catching a pair of TSRR GP9us on the TSRR Pulaski Local.

    54. Last NERR train to run to Lebanon prior to RJ Corman taking them over.
