NS 4001 Leads NS 121! Railfanning SW Detroit and Delray Junction, Detroit MI (6/23/24)

On June 23rd, 2024, I went to Detroit to do some railfanning in and around Delray Junction. I had an event that I was attending to in the afternoon not far from the area. This part of Detroit sees 4 class 1 railroads within the area ranging from CSX, NS, CPKC, and CN. Conrail Shared Assets also makes a few moves through here as well with NS switchers. On this nice summer day, I would catch 14 trains.
