NS 789 races through Conover just before Sunset. It was just announced today that the Asheville Yard operations would close for good. In just a few hours, 789 would become the last Westbound train to talk to the Tower.
"One last time, 789 calling Asheville Tower".
"Asheville Tower over"
"By Azalea with 100 of them for you Scottie, over"
"Permission on #2 mainline, 789"
"789 on #2 main. Good luck, Scottie. 789 out."
