250 sits in the Bluefield, WV yard as a crew change is happening just ahead on 2026. Soon 18M will roll out onto the Christiansburg district. I still can’t get over how beautiful these paint jobs are. Don’t worry, tomorrow I’ll post something else besides this train lol.

18M works Flat Top Yard in Yards, VA on the Pokey. A set off was made at the head of the train which was as perfect for capturing 250 with the conductor on the nose. A quick splash of sun had great timing as the units back up to their train to continue east to Bluefield.

My day started at 4am, but it was well worth it! “Lady Liberty” 2026 and 250 are paired together as they lead Crewe, VA bound 18M through control point Hull on the Pokey. This was the first spot of many as this train was chased eastbound toward home. I have to give it to Norfolk Southern, they sure know how to paint up some special units!
