Phosphate Train
We don’t often get to see CSX power on point on our Norfollk Southern NB Line. This guy is NS E03, a phosphate unit train coming out of the Nutrien mine down in Aurora. Ironic that the mine is referred to as Lee Creek, the entire creek was swallowed by the 100-foot-deep mine years ago. Power: CSX 820 & 830 - GE ES44AC-H & NS 8054 - GE ES44AC. Music: Melvin Sparks Band, "Alligator Boogaloo,” Bishop's Lounge (June 19, 2010).
