NS 35N with UP DDA40X |
| Description: |
On Sunday, June 7, 2015, a westbound mixed freight passed through Leetonia, Ohio with a prison escapee in consist being returned back to the prison. Prison, in this case, can be defined as a museum. Escapee, in this case, can be defined as Union Pacific #6944, a DDA40X! Westbound mixed freight train 35N held a part in the honor of moving this special locomotive from Norfolk Southern's Juniata Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania back to the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri after an amazing cosmetic restoration. At 6:08pm, westbound mixed freight 35N, led by NS #2600 (SD70M), NS #9568 (C40-9W), NS #9464 (C40-9W), and MOTX/UP #6944 (DDA40X) passed milepost 63.2 on Norfolk Southern's Fort Wayne Line in Leetonia, Ohio. The train is about to cross the Walnut Street grade crossing, which at the time was taken out of service after having new rail laid on track two. The crossing will be repaved in the next week or so. |

NS 39Q |
| Description: |
At 2:35pm on Wednesday August 16, 2017, westbound mixed freight train 39Q crossed the Stone Bridge in Johnstown, Pennsylvania with NS #6920 (SD60E; Honoring Our Veterans unit), NS #9533 (C44-9W), NS #7254 (SD70ACu), NS #2631 (SD70M), and NS #6302 (SD40E). NS #6310 (SD40E) and NS #6301 (SD40E) were on the rear. The bridge is a seven-arch stone bridge spanning the Conemaugh River and was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad between 1887 and 1888. This bridge survived the massive Johnston Flood of 1889 and blocked debris caught in flood waters, which caught fire creating an inferno covering 30 acres. |
