One of my personal favorites leading 37Q south behind another early microprocessor unit- an SD50.
Catfish leader but HH SD40-2 and a NREX former Conrail SD50 trailing.
37Q does a little switching in Vardo before recrewing and heading south. Note the leader with its heritage blatantly obvious.
D773 pauses at Town while a switch is set. Note the different numberboards.

A CSX transfer job heads south alongside NS 203.
37Q's power, light, on the other side of Vardo, with H95 waiting for him to clear.
37Q sits in Vardo Yard, awaiting 203 to clear.
A GP50, a dying breed, leads H95.
After only two weeks of running this way, 203 hauls toward Vardo Yard.
CNOTP unit idling in Vardo with another GP50.
After arriving a couple weeks earlier, the 4611 is still in Vardo Yard, teamed with a GP38-2.
Some classic NS units idling in Vardo. These units will soon be either sold, built into GP38-3's or scrapped.
