After three previous trips in less than month as a trailing unit on NS Train 224, NS 8098 is leading 224 at track speed as it knocks down the signal in Sturgeon, MO.
NS 8098 leads an older Dash-8 cousin, an SD70ACC and an SD40e on the point of train 223 as it approaches the west end of the yard at the GM Wentzville assembly plant.
