NS 11A Great Consist!  Contributor's Pick!       
NS 11A which includes NS Conrail Heritage Locomotive, which is being towed to Conway to be placed into service. Consist is extremely underpowered. NS 11A made it to MP 240 and came to a stop. Helper sets had to be added to the front and rear to get it over the Eastern Slope.

Stephen Grekulak General Yeah i can see how underpowered that train was. Nice shot! 3/16/2012 9:14:34 PM
Joe Gates General Nice shot! Were the GP40-2 and the slugs the only things providing traction? I know that the Conrail unit was dead, and I would guess that the genset, GMTX, and switcher were as well, leaving the geep, slugs, and maybe the SD40-2 to provide power... 3/16/2012 9:57:41 PM
