| NS Westbound Vehicle Train 270 ( Birmingham to Lincoln, Al. Honda Plant ) passing through Prescott, Al. on their way back to BNSFs East Thomas Yard with an ultra rare pair of SD38P's for power. I've never caught these on a road train til this day, but have caught them more than once on transfer & yard jobs, these SD38P's are remote control equipped & aren't equipped with ditch lights, so 270 had to do 30 MPH through each crossing with the headend only then can get back up to track speed, but if there's multiple crossings back to back it's best to just stay at 30 MPH til there's a long stretch without crossings, these SD38P's were assigned to hump duties at Tennessee Yard in Memphis, Tn. & maybe other yards for many years |
