| Chocowinity, NC, July 1, 2015, 1:10pm: A Norfolk Southern freight train runs north on the NS line between New Bern and Chocowinity. This train appears to have a lot of empty covered hoppers and empty phosphoric acid tankers probably going to the large PotashCorp mining operation north of Aurora, NC, where phosphate is mined and phosphoric acid is made. The train appears to have 40 or 50 cars and is pulled by only one locomotive, SD70Ace NS 1126 running long hood forward. |
