ET44-mania
A really nice sunset provides a backdrop for P97 as they leave New Bern for Chocowinity, crossing over the Neuse. NS has been obsessed with sending ET44s here lately. First we had 3653 on P97 (which I recently got the Scaletrains HO model of), then was followed up by 3652 here a few weeks later after a C6M took the reins for a bit. On top of that, New Bern's local power, another C6M, derailed on the Weyerhaeuser spur near Vanceboro on E32. This caused NS to replace it with 3654, which had just led an inbound potash train to Morehead City a few days prior and was plucked from that power set as an emergency replacement for the derailed C6M. A few more have made the rounds on P98 as well. With there only being 81 NS ET44s, it's kinda weird that so many have been going here as of recent.
