Railfanning at National Train Day on 5/14/22

Unread post by David Collins »

Today I spent roughly 10 hours at the National Train Day festivities at the Toledo Amtrak station, all in all, it was a VERY solid day of railfanning, including catching the Interstate heritage unit leading NS 60T, This unit has evaded me very well over the last several years and now I can say I only need to see 5 more of the NS heritage units.

I also got to put another RRFan member name to a face, this time it was ConrailDetroit!

The outbound engineer on NS 15N puts on quite the show with waves and LOTS of horn blasts.

Hope you enjoyed the time out with your fellow railfans.

Yep, my dad went with me and he drove home since I woke up at 4:15 AM and I could BARELY stay awake. I also have a photo editor on my phone so that was useful. It was a lot of fun for sure!
