NS 4669
Title:  NS 4669
Description:  We had plenty of NS traffic coming in both directions, so we dashed toward Hagerstown as quickly as we could. Southbound NS 189 was waiting on northbound NS 26C at Walnut Level, so we raced over to the east end of the siding and just barely grabbed NS 26C heading into the siding to meet the eastbound freight.

NS 4870
Title:  NS 4870
Description:  NS 197 was also coming south, but they would end up recrewing at Oakville. CSX had a westbound lined up at Muncie, so we tried to catch that, but ended up missing it by about a minute and a half. We moved into town and got nothing else until NS 262 rounded the bend by us at Liberty Street.

NS 4192
Title:  NS 4192
Description:  TJ had a graduation to attend to that evening, so he and I said our farewells. It was another great day spent along the tracks with one of my very good friends. While traffic was for the most part completely dead, NS L82 asked for permission off the belt behind NS 262, so after dropping TJ off, I worked south to OmniSource where I found the short train departing south to Summitville.

NS 4282
Title:  NS 4282
Description:  NS L54 was working East Yard for quite some time when and while I was in Muncie with the NS 3415, the only SD40-2 in the Muncie pool at the moment. I was counting on them to run to Vernon to grab the NS 122 interchange, but they never did. CSXs local usually runs on Fridays, but I ended up loosing patience with them too and decided to head for home. I grabbed some supper at Burger King in Hartford City, and all was quiet until I reached home, where a southbound green signal greeted me at CP Wells. Soon after, a southbound grain train ripped through Ossian. Glad I was able to pick one more up on this great day trackside!
