NS loaded coal

An NS loaded coal train slowly passes Lake Meade Road in Suffolk, VA with a surprise leader: CN SD70I #5666! I couldn't believe that I got a Canadian leader on the Norfolk District! Amazing! I loved hearing the Nathan K3L horn, it sounded glorious! This train stopped right around milepost 26, just past the crossing. I'm surprised he didn't stop in the crossing, seeing how much he slowed down. Notice that the crossing has a new General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, the old Safetran Systems electromechanical bell bit the dust, as you can see from my other videos from July 15 with the bell not sounding.
