NS 2545
Title:  NS 2545
Description:  Before a large swath of storms would strike the area and wreak havoc later this day, NS 130 heads through Vance, AL under deceptively blue skies.I decided to work this local lumber mills sign in on an otherwise random image. With the temp already hitting the mid 90's and a fully running a/c, my other lenses kept fogging up internally so I had to turn to the 100x400 which gave me no problems but was a bit overkill and forced tighter shooting but it didn't slow me down none and gave me a chance to be a bit creative.

NS 2545
Title:  NS 2545
Description:  Before a large swath of storms would strike the area and wreak havoc later this day, NS 130 heads through Vance, AL under deceptively blue skies. NS has retired these former show ponies and venerable work horse for rebuilding in the SD70ACC program though NS 2556-2580 were put up for sale outright in January 2020. 2545 is seen passing one of more subtle landmarks to be found in Vance aside from the large intimidating Mercedes Benz plant. I decided to work this local lumber mills sign in on an otherwise random image. My other lenses kept fogging up internally but the 100x400 gave me no problems other than it was mostly over kill for the images I was taking but a lens is better than none at all.

NS 2556
Title:  NS 2556
Description:  Once 80 strong, NS’s SD70 fleet has dwindled to only 4 active and 49 in storage (at the time of writing). With NS’s SD70ACC program having already claimed 27 of the venerable units. That along with NS having delved head first into PSR, older units will be first to be sidelined and stored. So the future for the SD70 fleet looks rather bleak and with only 4 active units roaming the rails that certainly could be an indication of things coming to pass. For now though it was nice just getting to see one personally if for the last time.

In the end the UP 4336 would gain the green highball first with the SD70 spartan cab 2579 hot on his heels"to clear the way for Amtrak 20 who would need them cleared for its northward journey.
