Norfolk Southern P29 eastbound from New Bern to Morehead City, NC with narrow gauge EMD export locomotives for Chile.
These new GT38AC exports were built for Ferronor (Empresa de Transporte Ferroviario S.A.) in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. Ferronor operates a narrow gauge rail network that primarily serves Chile's copper and iron ore mining, along with some general freight traffic. This was the third South American locomotive shipment for the Port of Morehead City.
In this video, eastbound P29 is seen on the Trent River bridge in New Bern, and rolling east through downtown Newport on the EC-line. Unfortunately I was unable capture good video in Morehead City due to heavy winds and traffic congestion.
