NS 8878
Title:  NS 8878
Description:  NS 8878 crosses the BNSF/FMRC diamond as it leads its southbound 97-car, 12800 ton grain train out of Altus and toward Quanah. It's rare to see NS, let alone any, 6-axle power in Altus. Lucky me!

NS Unit on a Northbound Manifest
Title:  NS Unit on a Northbound Manifest
Description:  Lots of foreign power today, this train scooted through on a yellow signal because it was close behind the intermodal in front of it. The concrete wall in the background used to be part of the MP Ice Docks which were gotten rid of in the early 60's.
