Hi hood GP 30 |
| Description: |
One feature both N&W and Southern shared was ordering their second generation power with short high hoods. On most units, it made for a brick like appearance; on the GP 30's, which both roads rostered, it was really different. Here's a short hood view of one of Southern's units on one of two trains working Greensboro. |

Four axle power |
| Description: |
Most of the through freights I saw this day had six axle power. One that didn't was this one, which came south with four 4 axle units. Interestingly for you numbercrunchers, the two units to the right had opposing numbers. Note GP 30, number 2625, and ahead of it, GP 35 2526. A GE rounds out the shot. |

Big plant |
| Description: |
The Southern local job works the R J Reynolds plant. Back in that era, when a lot more people smoked than now, and tobacco was a primary contributor to the state economy, this was one of the larger industrial facilities, providing many jobs, and a lot of business for the railroad. We see a typical Southern unit working the docks. |

| Description: |
A power set comes out of the yard with a cut of cars to roll south. Its train is waiting on the main. The two SD 35's were common"on road freights at this time, along with either an SD 40 or 45. Most of the trains I saw that day had some combinatfon of SD 35's, 40's, and 45's, typically in three unit sets, almost all of them running mong hood forward which was standard Southern practice. |

On into the night |
| Description: |
Well after dark, a southbound works the yard. The traffic here was not monumental-no one will confuse this line with the UP in Nebraska-but it was steady. I was there about 15 hours, and saw 15 or so trains. I didnt keep notes in those days(silly me, theyd be really helpful now, 35 years later), so dont have am exact count, but it seemed like there was a train every hour or so. |

Still Southern, mostly |
| Description: |
Two years after the NS merger, there was still a lot of predecessor power around. This set was on a train at Danville KY on the Rathole. There's more to it than meets the eye. The leader is obvious, one of the unusual high short hood GP 30's only NW and Southern got; the third unit is ex Central of Georgia and carries its C of G number. The trailing unit is actually at home; it's sublettered for the CNO&TP. |

Going away view |
| Description: |
A train of empty hoppers is rolling west out of the Lamberts Point yard behind a set of power that was already classic by then, including an ex EL SDP45 that had come back to NS from Conrail when the lease expired. It was one of the units financed by Dereco in the late 60s. |

Big yard power |
| Description: |
Some of the cuts handled at Lamberts Point were quite large, so NS teamed up a trio of units to keep them rolling to the dumpers. This was quite a set: a high hood GP 30 and a pair of GP 9s. What a sound they made when revving up!! |

Hanging on |
| Description: |
N&W ran the last FM Trainmaster, ex Virginian units. Even after their demise as locomotives, they lived on for many years after being cut down for slugs to work the coal pier at Norfolk. Heres one in that service, still sporting its FM trucks. |
