NS OCS 955 is deadheading home at the siding at Waddy, KY of the Louisville District after hosting NS guests at the Kentucky Derby the previous day. 1800hp F-9A 4270 has an impressive history as it started life in 1952 as a B&O F7 that was re-manufactured by Morris Knudsen in 1981 for use by Maryland Rail Commuter operation. NS acquired 4270 and mates less than a year earlier than this photo was taken from KCS (apparently GP-38 5646 was a stand-in for F-9A 4271). Today, NS has renumbered the OCS F-9A units to 270 and the ex-CGW F-7B locomotives are now numbered 275 and 276.
