I got enjoy a little train time on the Job today - This is the I-85 Bridge project in Rowan County NC. I was waiting for my turn to pour my load of concrete into pump for the bridge pier. Norfolk Southern's mainline cuts through the job - There were 6 trains in 90 minutes - They have slow order through here. Was able to snap these pictures as i was waiting - Had fun -getting paid at same time - can't beat that.

yeah, I'd say that's right through the job site. Cool. Paid to do railfanning
That's just south of the Linwood yard?

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

thanks, zebrarails The reason the BNSF is on the UP is cause they both have a loco sharing thing going & this came from the Powder River Coal Mines in Wyoming & where the coal is going is on UP somewhere lol
Oh why not? I'll post the string of ex-UP locos that were there
Lots Ain't there?
