Pacing NS train

A pace of NS train #112 through Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Captured between Elkton and Island Ford, VA on the NS Roanoke District. Lead engine is NS (xCR) CW40-8 #8412, still sporting its Conrail horn. Trailing motors are an NS Phase III SD70M, and an NS SD70M-2.

Nice catch! Nice job chasing that ex-Conrail engine. Conrail is now a days split between both CSX and Norfolk Southern.
