NS 74M in HO scale
NS 74M heads eastbound empty from Illinois to get another load of black diamonds while 17M holds the main for a crew swap with an ex-CR atlas CW40 up front with 2 customized athearn C40-9W’s, #9228 and #9494. In my other video, I mention power for an eastbound coal train waiting for the mine shifter to bring the cars to it. As you can see, it is NS 9325 with a mess of older EMD power behind it not yet coupled up, HLCX SD60 #6044, SD40-2 #6075, GP50 #7018 and MRL SD40-2 #250.
