Comments on: Since the NS coils currently being built are one of the key points of interest in southern Ontario railfanning of late, figured I’d get in on the fun. Here we see the NSC critter out and about, making a move among their storage cars over on the Coke Oven Leads out front of Dofasco. Currently among those cars are both painted and unpainted NS/NKLX coils (as Trenergy in St. Catharines isn’t building hoods as quickly as NSC is building cars), with unpainted pictured here. They ended up pulling a tagged NSCX demo car out of the storage pile – for what reason, I have no idea.

And the handrail for it is sitting up on the deck, it looks like.

Thanks Rob. After having never gotten a shot here to my liking I’ve done a few over the past couple of months. Kinda weird how that works.

And yeah I didn’t notice the footboard thing but you’re now the second person to mention it. The other person also noted you can see the broken off handrail on the left side below the window. I’ve seen the NSC critters on the ground more than once, so it’s not all that surprising haha.

Interesting that the front footboard has disappeared also.

Wow! NSC at an uncommon photo location! Leave it to you to capture it. Well done Sir.
