NS GP59 on Display         
Here is NS's contribution to the 2008 MRYM Railroad Days, a GP59, which is set up long hood forward. This was the first newer diesel I'd been in that was set up for long hood forward running. It was an interesting arrangement.

C.S. Jackson General Is that thing still operational? 9/22/2008 12:29:30 PM
Doug Wolfe General Nice shot. I like the blue N&W caboose in the background. 9/25/2008 7:13:01 PM
Tyler Bundy General "Ol' Shakey"... This one was a donated display by the NS for the weekend. It is operational. The nickname comes from the buzz that comes from every square-inch of metal vibrating in harmony as the locomotive notches out. Very nice ride! 12/5/2008 8:06:10 PM
