  1. Waiting For The Clear

    Waiting For The Clear

    Virginia Division local, NP61, having just finished working a local tank farm, waits patiently for a clear signal to finish backing into Portlock Yard in Chesapeake, VA. NS-V17, on the left is passing, pulling a stack train west. NP61 is interesting in that its consists of an SD40-2 teamed up...

  2. NS-228 at Portlock Yard

    NS-228 at Portlock Yard

    Eastbound NS228 ends its journey as it enters the west end of Portlock Yard in Chesapeake, VA and begins to thread the yard ladder. The position signal on the right is the only one seen on the "A" line until one nears Crewe, VA, over 100 miles away.

  3. "The Brick"

    "The Brick"

    Yep, thats what they call it, "The Brick." Look at the lettering under the road number. Looks to have been a GP38 in another life. Walked up on this sitting in Portlock Yard (Chesapeake, VA)
