NS 503 comes past with an unsurprising Engine Lashup, 3 GE's and the conductor gives me a nice wave.

My favorite are Pennsylvania Power and Light hoppers (PPLX), or especially, Reading and Northern QTI gons (RBMN), nothing beats those. They are quite rare, so if you ever get the change to see them, they are awesome! Oh and don't you catch 506 and 507 much? Those gons rock as well!

On average there are at least 5 coal trains up here daily. That is an all GE consist by the way. Dash-9, Some form of Dash-8, I believe a 39-8E, and another Dash-9.

No, 506 and 507 have the silver 5 bays. To be honest, I haven't heard this train lately, I hope they didn't cancel the service, those were the only trains with those gons in this area. Oh and sometimes they have exSouthern 5 bays in the consist, those are sweet, the SOUTHERN logo is huge!

At night, hmmm... always daytime here, well they were. And rarely, 506 will have a DPU.
