Photo taken with permission from Norfolk Southern:
After the 398 got to Decatur, Illinois the locomotive was second unit with no "nose" shot. Thanks to Norfolk Southern I was able to get a view of when the crew uncoupled the power and moved it to throw switches into the yard where I got a decent roster shot of "The Nickel Plate Road" heritage ES44AC #8100 on 11-7-2012.
-This would be my 11th NS heritage locomotive out of 20 presented 5 months ago in NC.
Oh, babe - you don't need your Heritage unit photos to be taken at some fancy put-on shit. Like a real photographer, you'd rather catch your subject matter on the move, and I couldn't be more thrilled about that, gorgeous. I love you, sugar pie. You're my everything, and this shot kicks ass! Mwah! Love ya!!
Very true, babe! LOL! Almost like cheating huh babe? I am doing good for not going to that event! But I am sure glad that I have went after the 11 that have passed so far babe! I will get there eventually, honey! I love you so much, darling! You are everything to me as well baby! Thanks so much! Mwah! XOXOXOXO! <33333333 Love ya too!!!!!
LOL! No "almost" about it, babe! The way you do it takes a lot more hard work behind it, gorgeous! Mwah! I love you, and you are so welcome for everything, babe! Mwah! XOXOXO! <3333
