Remarks & Notes 
"Night Shift"; Built in Spetember 1973 for the Norfolk & Western, NS 1630 (formerly NW 1630) awaits the RC conductor to climb aboard so they can drill the yard. This unit has certainly seen better days, once proudly hauling thousands of tons of Appalachian coal, now relegated to nothing more than a heavy yard switcher. This unit is just one of 10 high-hood six-axles remaining on the NS roster following the recent retirement of 1633.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
