NS 1072 leads 288 with a EPIC K5LLA @ Hagerstown

Taken on May 5th, I headed over to Hagerstown after hearing word that NS 1072 (and 4116) were coming back on 288 after I caught it up Manassas on 289 5 days before. I soon headed over to the crossing before Vardo (if you’re traveling North). While I was there, I was joined by ‪@thetrainseekers1‬ and a few others. We waited about 15 minutes before hearing a K5LLA in the distance and soon NS 1072 came into view with 288. This train had a friendly crew as well, giving us a horn salute as it passed by. After that, I chased it to the other end of Vardo, but that’s another story. Hope y’all Enjoy the video!

Greatly filmed, the NS 1072 and the intermodal container train.

Nice! It was great seeing you on this catch! I’m missing so many of the NS Heritage units so hoping to cross more off my bucket list
