N&W 8103 heritage on BNSF going to NS

CQDX018 · January 15, 2013, 08:15:00 PM

This is #17 for me in revenue service. The weather wasn't the best but at least I beat the rain! Instead I just got the down right icy cold! I went to Chillicothe, Illinois today (1-15-2013) and shot a few trains. Even though it was on BNSF. The # 8103 will be going back to the NS at Chicago Ashland Ave. Here a few shots from today! Enjoy!

Nice! Do you include 1030 in your list? Dan

I will shoot it if I see it but I will not drive 150+ miles for it. LOL! I should add it to my list but it just seems like another black and white to me. How about you? Kevin

Is this one of the trains that continues on NS to New Jersey or did it terminate in Chicago area?

If it continues, which NS train does it become?

Thanks!
Dan

It IS on my list as the 30th B-day loco... but, I am with you. I will not drive 150 miles either! If it happens to be around, then so be it! Thanks Dan. (FYI-9 out of 21 for me! PRR, WAB, CNJ, INT, N&W, SOU, LV, S&A, and PC are crossed off!)

Sweet! We are both getting there! Hopefully the CNJ gets back in service soon. I believe # 8103 was still at Chicago and terminated there. It was on some kind of B local yesterday but a friend told me he thought that Q train on the BNSF became a 24Z. I assume no matter what the train ID is that it will head Eastbound.
