A day on the Fort Wayne Line just west of Pittsburgh that was typical for its variety and distribution of power and trains. It got better as the day went on, featuring a nearly new SD70ACe leading a train, one of NS's two GP22ECOs, two trains led by SD40-2s, and foreign power, mingling with the usual intermodals powered by GEVOs and Catfish.
