My first NS heritage unit ever on 2-14-2019

       I did some railfanning in Grand Island along BNSF's Ravenna Subdivision. The weather was windy & cold. Despite the wind and the cold, I filmed NS 8105 the interstate unit and BNSF trains,too. The temps during the filming were in the 20s. Before NS 8105, I've never seen an NS heritage units ever. I've got UP heritage units except 1943, & 4141. One from CSX, The spirit of Grafton. And a few BNSF hoppers.

Insane Saturday afternoon in Grand Island,NE on January 26,2019

       I arrived going railfanning around 11 in the morning. At around noon, went to firehouse subs and got me a cajun spicy chicken sub and ate at Ashley Park and doing my food review there. Around 12:15 in the afternoon, BNSF eastbounds were side-by-side until 1p.m.. The loaded coal train was sitting until around 2:30 after 6 westbound empty hopper trains headed west. Finally, that coal train and other coal trains behind him leaving for a while. 

      It got worse, eastbound trains were side-by-side. There was train after train after train from 4:15p.m. until dark. It was very busy along the Ravenna Sub for all of the eastbound traffic. I talked to a county board member and they will talk about that at a city/county meeting.
