Railfan Pictures of the Week - 06/02/2013
| NS Harrisburg Line Bridgeport PA and Abrams Yard May 6 and 7 2013 |
| NS H8E brought a string of empty Conrail H1K ballast hoppers up from Port Richmond but only got as far as Abrams Yard before being told to park it. |
 |
| The power featured two high hoods, NS GP38AC 2846 and GP38-2 5070, and short hood GP40-2 3038. |
 |
| The train continued west the next day, doing a slow roll past a track gang working a ballast regulator on Track 2 at Abrams. |
 |
| As usual, the H1K hoppers came in various flavors: as delivered CR 493083, with a little rust ... |
 |
| mostly original with patch job CR 493153 ... |
 |
| and mostly customized CR 493063, and most of the cars wearing their new NS class designation: either PRO 043-11 or PRO 043-12. |
