In the late evening light the NS 218 arrives in Portsmouth and splits the CPL's at Spring Ln. The CPL's do not have much time left, as the replacement signals are already in place.
CP power pulls a westbound NS grain train through Marion on the NS Sandusky district, as the local sits on the other side of the Center St. crossing, waiting for a signal.
Having just departed the yard, the NS 17M begins its trip to Columbus. The old N&W cantilever signal will not be here long, as a new cantilever signal is standing just west of this spot.
The NS 17M with power most railfans only dream of getting to see, a very filthy wide cab dash 9, heads under the Chillicothe cantilever signal, preparing to take the single main.
