Railfanning In Thomasville & Greensboro Featuring ACe Leaders, NS 1072, and BNSF Power 6/4/2026

A good helping of train action on the former Southern Railway mainline in Thomasville. On this day we see a BNSF ES44DC trailing on 28N, and a D9-44CW on P02; the Lexington Switcher. Two other highlights would be NS 24X with a pair of SD70ACe’s and an AC44C6M, and NS 28R with the Illinois Terminal heritage unit.
