Caption: Oh boy. What do you do when you see a consist like this? And it is coming straight out of the morning sun! I remember what I did. I panicked!! :o) I don't recall exactly how this opportunity came about, but it was most likely set in motion by a phone call from my buddy Pete Hoople in Welland; who often checked out the yard down his way and of course hearing NS leader on the scanner would certainly start the 'motor running'. I knew in advance it was a 'lot of power'. But not like this! There was absolutely no angle as the sun was right down the tracks, so I had to find a broadside. This train was at speed. Maybe 45 MPH. Whatever it was, it left little room for error so I guessed as to just how wide the scene needed to be to capture the maximum of units. This was not bad, all things considered. On the head end are NS 8941, CP 5749, CEFX 3166, GMTX 9046, CEFX 3164, ICE 6444, 6449 and SOO 6044. I doubt a variety pack like this will never be duplicated along this line.
