Tyler McKinney General I was in Canton not too long ago and saw a consist of no less than 7 different SD's and Geeps plus an SW pulling a train of four boxcars. I really wish I had grabed a picture or two. 9/5/2012 3:32:48 PM
Tim Keegan General You never know what you may find in Canton. They usually have a couple 4 axles for anything West of Canton and a few six axles for P31 and the occasional extra to run to Asheville. I know Champion has their own little switcher there but NS had one there for a while early this year. NS has a Norfolk Portsmouth Beltline MP15DC in Asheville yard right now. I usually keep my camera with me when I head towards Canton or Asheville because you never know what you will see. I was really surprised to see these two switching a few boxcars though, quite a bit of power. 9/6/2012 8:08:29 PM
