RARE 1999 footage of Norfolk Southern cab ride from Norton to Andover Va --for serious railfans only

So this lead unit (6106) is a low short-hood SD40-2 set up to run LHF. The other long hoods were also marked F for being front.

Those seats were complete garbage!
I never move around equipment without gloves on!

Norton yard looks absolutely unrecognizable in this, due to all the activity, Norton yard is just an empty lot of tracks, such a shame. Glad this video exists
