FIlmed 01/05/15 @ 2:47pm This one almost got away from me. Chris said it was scheduled to come in around 2pm, which is an hour after I got off work, so I didn't have my hopes of of getting it in the first place. So as soon as I could get out of work, I went as quickly as I could to get to the location where I filmed the 1066 NYC unit, but as I was crossing he bridge over the tracks, its was already through. Fortunately, it was going VERY slow. At this point it was leading the 21T double stack train, which is also why it was crawling. It was approaching Voltz Yard to drop the entire train off. That bought me the time I needed to find a spot to get ahead of it. So I get to this backwood crossing and see it's headlights about a half mile away, still crawling. It keeps getting closer and as I get ready to start filming, it stops and then backs up. It was performing the train set outs at this time, then once it was done, it again slowly approached me but stopped again. This time waiting for a green to head on over to NS' Avondale Yard. In the meantime, a UP oil can train went by on the tracks behind me, and as that one was clearing out, I noticed my camera battery was getting very low. It was in the low 20s and a nasty wind chill making it feel colder, which I think was making the battery drain even faster. No way it should have been that low that fast after charging over night. But as that UP tank train passed, a short manifest lead by CSX and BNSF power came by going the other way. So I risked it and filmed the power on that one. After that, the 1071 finally got the green to go and this video is the result. Oh yeah, the audio playing over the pics is the slow approach of the consist before it started backing up to drop off the train. It was really too far away to see much, but the sound of the locomotives carried. Keep watching after to the end, I included a photo series of all the NS Heritage Units that I've filmed so far. Got 10 so far, now for the other 10. Thanks for watching, lots more to come! -------------------------------- Heritage Score Board: Union Pacific...
