NS 4819 Leads Intermodal South | Rensselaer St. Railroad Crossing, Bucyrus, OH

Tuesday, November 11, 2025
I would get word that NS 272 would be coming down the Sandusky District with the NS Central of Georgia heritage unit in the lead. I set up here as I wait for a train and I hear a distant K5LA. About 5 minutes later, NS 276 heads south with an NS AC44C6M and an NS C44-9W at the Rensselaer Street railroad crossing in Bucyrus on the Sandusky District.

Since I last recorded this crossing, NS replaced the crossbucks on all signals and removed the two tracks signs as well.

Consist:
NS 276 (Daily Intermodal) [Landers Yard, Chicago, IL - Portlock Yard, Norfolk, VA]
NS 4819 - GE AC44C6M
NS 9837 - GE C44-9W
