Gate City Railfanning Featuring BNSF, CN Power, SD70ACe Leader & A Late Amtrak 20 5/27/2026

A few trains that I caught around the Greensboro NC area with my friend Francisco. Some of the highlights we’d see would be Amtrak 20 running five hours late due to setting off a locomotive in Georgia. We’d also see NS 165 with a pair of SD70ACe's spliced by an AC44C6M. We’d finish out the day with 119 at Hilltop with an interesting mix of power; a BNSF ES44DC leading, an NS ES44AC, an NS AC44C6M, and a recently rebuilt Canadian National SD75IACC last out.
