I was originally in Fort Erie to see the Every Child Matters unit leading 236, but stuck around to see the NS Transfer too. Here it is in the dying daylight, and to my surprise, with a matching NS eco set. I've seen them come over before but this is the only time I've shot the pair. One of them I believe is a slug.

    And I didn’t even realize there were two of them!

    There are a few of these sets, they are funded by state governments and assigned to the state they are placed in for emission reduction targets.

    I’m pretty sure two different NS Ecos have been wrecked in Buffalo too lol

    The NS Dash 9 website by Chris Toth says there are about 15 still active

    Doc Pinklaces, VERY colourful, nice picture. Had no idea that these Eco units ever crossed the border. Such an improvement over the usual drab black with some white stripes. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you! The transfer is unpredictable. I’ve seen the Ecos on the transfer twice, I believe.
