June 16, 2007:  With the busy action continuing I figured I would head down to the crossovers, and I got lucky.  NS 68Q with exConrail SD60 NS 6703 and NS Dash-9-40C 8845 stopped for 261 coming west on the same track.  68Q was paused for a long time and even let me have a look around onboard (first time!) 261 came about 15 minutes later with units 9825 and 9340.  NS 68Q throws the throttle into N8 for the uphill climb, and it takes a lot to move 80 loads of ethanol from a dead stop.
