NS'S Alabama Division Birmingham East End District  Contributor's Pick!       
NS Eastbound Intermodal Train 220 ( Meridian, Ms. to Atlanta, Ga. ) passing through Lovick, Al. 220 runs as I-DAAT ( Dallas, Tx. to Atlanta, Ga. ) via KCS. The KCS 4697 was added to the lead of 220 in Birmingham, Al. after the 2536 developed mechanical problems, the 2536 had traction motor & dynamic brake problems, I'd rather the 2536 led, but still a good consist regardless, could've been worse, I feared an NS GE widecab would be added to the lead of 220 & had that happened this photo wouldn't exist

Robert Farkas General Beauty and the Blahs. The KCS unit certainly stands out. 5/3/2013 8:39:49 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General You're right, the KCS unit certainly stands out mixed in with the more bland paint scheme, I still would rather the SD70 led 220 though 5/3/2013 8:42:50 PM
