| Description: |
NS D23 roars up Griggsville Hill running "N&W" style. Todays D23 was called at 3:00 PM, instead of the normal start time of 7:00 PM, allowing for a rare daylight photo of this normally nocturnal train. |

Ugly Betty - NS Edition |
| Description: |
It would be hard, nay impossible, to find an uglier, less photogenic locomotive on Norfolk Southerns roster. However, whatever the 8734 may lack on the outside, its whats inside that counts, and the old Dash 8 has #145 rolling west at the requisite 50 mph. |
