[quote name='hwyff' post='158918' date='Oct 27 2007, 22:39 ']Here are a couple pics of the Norfolk & Southern #9838 crossing at Delaplane, Va. for its daily trip into the Inland Port. I am also a train buff and seen this train many times crossing but these are the first pics I have taken of it.[/quote]
My very good friend who moved from our town in New Jersey to southwest Georgia 19 years ago also refers to Norfolk Sourthern as the Norfolk & Southern and he says that's the way "folks in his neck of the woods refer to it" -- why is that?
Interestingly, many railfans here in the north refer to NS as "N--- Southern" because of their tactics after they took over Conrail. The "N---" refers to a now defunct political party that ran Germany from 1933 to May 1945.
