As the rain ended we watch NS 22N (CSX Z608-28) eases down the 0.95% Hogjaw hill heading deep into the Tennessee River Valley at Nickajack Lake on the outshirt of New Hope, TN. The Haulage rights train is bound for Inman Yard in mid-town Atlanta, but first it will have to arrive in Chattanooga, TN on back on NS trackage before the pig train could continue south to one of Norfolk Southern's busiest Intermodal Hubs in the Southeast. Time is ticking for the lead unit NS 8831 as it will eventually be rebuilt into the new, and sort of improve AC44C6M, just like the second motor on this train.
