May 25, 2019 – A late westbound Norfolk Southern 217 heads west out of Roanoke, Virginia on the Christiansburg District, through the North Yard, as it passes a large string of NS locomotives. The units are being stored as part of precision scheduled railroading, being sold to short lines or other railroads although some are for rebuilds, which are mainly the standard cab SD70’s. The rest are probably destined for the scrap yard.
