Omg no 😢!! Makes me sad to see this was the final RoadRailer runs ever 💔! Though I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. Glad you were able to catch them during their final runs.
Saw NS crew switch out a TripCrwn roadrailer truck(overly hot bearing) one time on this same line just a little more east. Town is Homer Illinois. Right there on Rt49... about 25mins
That was a great shot you got of them in that meet! I caught the final NS 255 just before 4 AM yesterday. You are correct about the night-time meet, as it was in Michigan right around 3 AM. I was originally going for the 256, which I figured I could catch with not much time to spare, and be done so I could go get some sleep. It came through sooner than I thought, and I then ended up having to wait for 255. I was at Alvordton, OH (just south/west of the OH/MI border), which is basically in the middle of nowhere. Nobody else was around, and I could hear distant coyotes. Luckily, there happen to be just a couple street lights by that RR crossing. I waited about 3 hours before 255 came through. I lost sleep for that, but it was fun!

Sounds fun, this chase was very fun too despite the chaos. Good crews and tons of friends out
Awesome P5 on NS 8100
Nice video! I unfortunately forgot my tripod during my large chase going with the opposite train that day.
Great heritage catches awesome last chase and nice video of the ns roadrailer kyle

Never a huge fan of the concept, and doubted it woulf last. But it worked for quite awile.
Sadly I didn’t catch it
But awesome video
