  • Nice lash up. Railroads are always exchanging locomotives with each other. On the former Wisconsin Central mainline from Chicago (before CN), there were always locos from different roads.
  • I saw a BN & BNSF Dou of SD40-2's and got a front row seat at the grade crossing!
  • Saw SOO 6001 at Roberts Bank as the second of two loco's on a CP Rail intermodal train.
  • Today I went railfaning and saw two trains. I also saw two NJT trains. These are the locomotives I saw...

    Train #1
    NS 9884-C40-9W (in primer)
    NS 6800-SD60M (still in Conrail)

    Train #2
    NS 9724-C40-9W
    NS 2540-SD70
    NS 3404-SD40-2 (still in Conrail)
    NS 5268-GP38-2 (In new horsehead logo)

    Train #3 (NJT)
    NJT 4204-GP40PH-2B (ex Conrail)

    I saw BN or ex BN 7149 SB at Marietta, GA today on CSX. This unit was one of two SD40-2's modified to burn, I think, LPG. It now burns diesel but it still has the slanted radiators and special paint job( still in good condition BTW) it acquired during modification.

  • Last Saturday i say a train in Echo canyon (between Evanston, Wyoming, and Ogden, Utah) it had a UP SD70 on the point and then somthing that kinda confused me... A CSX loco (also a SD70 if i remember right) and then another one which i believe was some sort of lease unit. I was just puzzled to see a CSX unit deep in the heart of UP country
