Yesterday, thanks to a heads-up from Rob, I heard 12R was stopped near Linden. After an engine failure, the train couldn’t get over the hill. Power from NS 228 at the Virginia Inland Port came over and coupled up to the head-end of 12R. Photos and video of the train coming over Linden Hill are below.

A peaceful scene earlier at Belle Meade… so long as you’re not waiting to get across one of the crossings blocked by a stalled NS 12R on 4/3/2019. NS D9-44CW #9244 running long hood forward leads NS train 12R over Linden Hill on 4/3/2019. Over the hill at last… NS 12R with a hammerhead leading the way west at Linden, VA on 4/3/2019.
