Track Bed View of N/S Hotshot 201 in Stuarts Draft, Virginia!
Unique (and scary!) view of a Norfolk-Southern southbound Hot Shot using a GoPro Hero4 camera. The “kinetic energy” of this monster is unnerving.
Was surprised that the undersides of the carriers were unpainted - perhaps it’s a special coating to avoid rust and corrosion.
This train was more than a mile long and under full throttle as it barreled through the downtown crossing in Stuarts Draft, Virginia!
