Railfanning Between Hiltop & Elm Feat ACe leaders Foreign Power & the NS OCS train

Shot between both Sunday 3/31 & Today 04/02 I ended up getting word that NS 165 would end up having a BNSF SD70ACe leading the train. So I raced out to Mackey Rd to get him as well as a 936 loaded rail train with an old southern gon on the rear. Fast forward to 4/2 the NS OCS would end up making its way down in the early morning light with NS HUs 8099 & 1069 doing the honors then later in the day we would catch train 165-02 with another ace leading the charge with a nice K5LLA and probably some of the more decent horn action I’ve got off an ace in a while. Hope that you all enjoy!
