| A pair of NS units dropped off a train in the yard and are heading to the engine terminal at North Fond du Lac, on Sept. 30, 2006. |
 |
| Following the Metra down the center track is this freight led by NS SD70 #2725 on Dec. 19, 2006 at Riveerside, IL. |
 |
 |
| The first train at Duplainville, WI on May 3, 2007 was this northbound general merchandize train with NS power on the CN, former WC line. |
 |
 |
| We then drove to the north end of the yard and then turned on to Subway Road at North Fond du Lac, WI on May 5, 2007. There I discovered a CN freight crossing the road in the distance so we turned around and headed to the Highway N crossing about a mile north. Upon getting out of the car there, I spot headlights through the trees of a southbound train on the "valley line", headed by a pair of NS GE units. |

 |
| Here we see the NS unit as the BNSF train makes some switching moves in Cherokee Yard in West Tulsa on 7 16, 2011. |
 |
| After a doctor's appointment in Memphis, I heard a horn on the NS and headed track side and got this eastbound stack train on Oct. 25, 2011. |
 |
 |
| Our first train at Central Ave in Metairie is this NS which was waiting for permission to head for their yard in East New Orleans on Oct. 14, 2011. |
 |
| I got this westbound NS freight at White Station Road in Memphis on Jan. 12, 2012. |
 |
 |
| This NS westbound freight is seen just west of the Colonial St. crossing in Memphis on April 10, 2012. |
 |
 |
| I found this at the west end of Southern Ave. headed east with a string of intermodal cars on May 25, 2012. |
 |
| On my way to see my dentist, I spotted this local entering Forrest Yard along Southern Ave. in Memphis on June 15, 2012. |
 |
At White Siding in east Memphis, I found this train waiting in the siding on June 18, 2012. |
 |
| Later in the day, I found this train west of the NS Forrest Yard along Southern Ave on June 18, 2012. |
 |
 |
| The only train that I saw was this one led by a NS unit which honked its horn in a continuing series of short blasts until it was out of sight. |
 |
| This freight appeared and passed the other NS train on Feb. 16, 2013 in Metairie, LA. |
 |
 |
| On Feb 19, 2013 on my way to Memphis University School to meet with a teacher/former student of mine, I found this train sitting on the passing track at White Siding. |
 |
| Upon my return to the Hampton Inn where we were staying, I discovered this second train at the west end of White Siding. |
 |
| These NS units were sitting at the west end of the hump yard at Pine Bluff, AR on the UP on Aptil 5, 2013. |
 |
| The UP train in the last sequence delayed the movement off the former Missouri Pacific line with this unit oil train in Pine Bluff, AR on April 6, 2013. |
 |
| The lead unit is one of the NS Heritage Fleet units painted to honor the Central Railway of New Jersey which was one of the railroads which was a predecessor of the Norfolk Southern system. |

 |
| This NS stack train surprized me, thus the less than perfect shot at Kansas Ave in Memphis on May 23, 2014. |
 |
 |
| This eastbound NS freight is seen passing through the University of Memphis campus near where the Normal, TN station once stood on May 23, 2014. |
