A Late Amtrak 20, Yadkin Valley Mini Chase, UP Leaders & NS 4000 in one day. 5/31/2018 HD

A couple of goodies on NS’s Danville District in High Point and Pomona Yard, as well as a brief chase of Yadkin Valley, train YV2. Starting out at High Point we see a 5 1/2 late Amtrak 20 make its station stop. After hanging out a friends house in King we heard YV2 giving up its blocks as it started heading back to Rural Hall so we made our way to Donnaha to intercept it. We were able to catch YV2 in Donnaha, beating it to Tobaccoville, Helsabeck Rd just west of Rural Hall, and twice in downtown Rural Hall itself. Later after supper making my way back home I stopped at Pomona Yard and caught NS 350 with a pair of Union Pacific SD70M’s, 159 with an SD60E leading, and NS 4000 trailing 3rd out on NS 17M. 00:02 High Point Depot High Point NC Amtrak 20 New Orleans LA to New York NY AMTK GE P42DC #192 AMTK GE P40DC #821 00:33 Donnaha Rd, Donnahah NC 2:00 Tobaccoville NC 2:57 Helsabeck Rd, Rural Hall NC 3:56 Rural Hall Depot, Rural Hall NC 5:58 Bethania Rd, Rural Hall NC YVRR YV2 Elkin NC to Winston Salem NC YVRR EMD SD40-2 #7092 Ex BN YVRR EMD SD40-2 #6007 Ex UP YVRR EMD SD40-2 #5698 Ex CP 8:26 Pomona Yard Greensboro NC NS 350 Linwood NC to Selma NC UP EMD SD70M #4534 UP EMD SD70M #4418 NS EMD SD60E #7035 10:37 NS 159 Crewe VA to Linwood NC NS EMD SD60E #6917 NS GE D9-44CW #8976 11:52 NS 17M Linwood NC to Elkhart IN NS GE D8-40CW #8446 Ex CR NS GE ES44AC #8003 NS GE AC44C6M #4000
