[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by timthechef</i> <br /><br />Here I am in Bruswick MD watching the trains in the switch yard behind my house and what have I been seeing lately? Union Pacific Engines on CSX trains! First it was one engine with a CSX engine one a mixed freight, and them this morning 2 UP engines pulling and empty hopper drag with CSX markings on them.I even had a Norfolk and Southern engine parked outside here one night. Whast's going on? Atre they leased engines or has there been another merger? I see UP and Santa Fe cars as well as CN all the time but never the engines. Anyone know what's up? [?] <br />[/quote]Its just a power exchange when the RR's are to busy to make up another set <br />I see CSX NS & BNSF on KCS lines every now & then I see NS CSX & ex CR loco's <br />on UP lines every day just about last night i seen A UP loco on the point of an AMTRAK <br />the station MGR said the AMTRAK loco had some Electric problems & UP was takin it <br />toSanantonio where the could switch locos and fix the bad one but You might even see <br />ex CR locos on BNSF lines as well some time they jump lines to avoid congested rails like UP or maybe there workin on the rails (replacing old Crossties) or something but no new merger down south yet <br />[8D]
