"Triple Crown to Pass"
Title:  "Triple Crown to Pass"
Description:  A Southbound NS Triple Crown (NS 9667 and 8758) passes a slower moving mixed freight train at near top speed while both are on the Southland Drive overpass. There is less than a mile before the double track ends- I estimate the 2nd trains speed at between 60 and 70mph! Way fast for Lexington...but really awsome too.
