NS #154 Late as Usual

  • 17 years ago
Now, some of your are wondering, I thought you were filming trains in Salisbury this week? Well I was but Clint wasn't able to head down there so I decided to Do Belmont this week and will wait till next week for Salisbury. Now I didn't film that part, but before this late as usual #154 Manifest with NS 9082, (Fwr. Conrail) 6756, & 8779 in the consist. A Do-It Best Hardware truck was crossing the tracks, and as soon as this #154 was approaching, the bell was activating, and the gates were coming down, and the trailor part moved the gate a bit giving it a little bit of damage. Now I was responsiable to call Charlotte Tower and to pass it along to Junior the Dispatcher. Then Signal Maintainer Hipkins came by and gave it a little fixing. Now I just think that they should put up cantilevers to replace the lights and poles that were installed in the 50s. I just think they should just do that along with pedestrian gates as well.
