Yesterday (Sunday November 24) at around 4:30pm, I was railfanning in Hershey, PA at Derry Road. The local crew was going about its business of switching the chocolate plant. Heard on the radio was "NS 20W, clear at 101, Track 2 East". That meant that an intermodal train from Chicago, IL to Croxton, NJ was about 3 miles away and closing. The 20W is pretty much standard intermodal fare, mostly trailers and a few containers, and generally less than 20 cars long. However, as it rounded the curve near Hersheypark, headed toward us at Derry Road, the other guys and I were stunned to see a BNSF SD40-2 in the trailing position. The lead engine was the ubiquitous C40-9W of NS. If anybody else caught this rare occurrence, feel free to comment. I wonder if we are going to see more "foreign" power here on the east coast? UP SD70 engines (with the winged logo) turned up on an eastbound coal drag about a year ago here in Reading, PA also.
