Watched a couple of west bounds the other night with old conrail units man I like seeing that paint scheme, even if I do like the CSX colors. Glad your back USPSCXS.

George good progress on the layout cant wait to see it progress further.

I see that this has fallen way, way down, into the depths of forgotten threads, but I have not forgotten it!

BUMP!

Let's get this thread back a'goin'! Now that csxguy is back in business, it should become interesting again.

I wish CSX still ran through my town. IT was a sight to see because when i was 5 i saw the B&O alive and well. Now all of it gone[sigh][sigh]

Bump...back to the top [:D]

Today I saw a CN locomotive on a CSX intermodal. Now, this far south and east, we never see CN locomotives. Strange. I will post pics later. That's all for now.

Two RDMT/Mother sets on one train? Or are those both different trains?

I'm glad this topic was brought back up, as it doesn't get much traffic anymore. Nice shots.

I am working in Glen Rock, PA and there is a CSX line right along the road I am working on! Today I saw a GP30RDMT, two GP40-2's, and a GP40RDMT in the yellow nose stealth paint leading a local . It sure beat looking at the same old NS Crap! Tommorrow I will have a camera. Great to see GP30's leading a consist.

[Anonymous]

Aw man, CSX ordered GEVO's? NO no no no no no no! Sorry, but I'll take the SD70ACe's in YN3 anyday.

[Anonymous]

That sounds like a pretty nice camera Jordan. Too bad you didn't get the CX7530. Oh well, I guess you won't have the same camera as me.[:p]

Awesome! Yes, a good digital camera is a railfan's best friend.

I was down by the shop in East Hgnt the othe day and what I saw was sooooo Cooooolllllllll............Chessie Paint......Think it was a geep as well but it was too far away and angled but the paint was definitally Chessie

That is very rare to see a Chessie engine! I think there are only three active geeps with this paint scheme 9120,9121, 9122! The last one I seen was a few years ago in Baltimore when the train derailed in the tunnel spilling acid , and catching on fire! However I see rolling stock all the time!

[Anonymous]

Nice shot Dave. Ahh yes I love the fading grey on a CSX GP40-2. Can't beat a local run in my opinion.

I saw this while driving to the art museum in Boston for a car show[:D]



It's a Gp40-2 that was pulling several UP reefers and some privately owned ones. As you can see, it was running long hood forward.

[Anonymous]

Whoa! Ken, we NEVER see those around here, in the midst of all the AC4400's. GP38-2's and GP40-2's haven't showed up around here for quite some time. And not a one in the new scheme![:D][:)]

Very nice Ken! I don't think I've ever seen a CSX Geep on a mainline train.

That's right Jonathon, a very infrequent sight indeed - exactly why I rushed back to my house to get the camera when I saw 6012 and 2520 parked there. (The eastbound train was an unexpected bonus[:P])

Guys, all my previous CSX pics at Woodstock have been 6-axel units. Well yesterday I hit 'pay dirt' and photographed a waiting westbound [empty] grain train headed by a pair of geeps, and also snapped a shot of the passing eastbound led by another geep! Here they are:

First, the meet - GP38-2 #2522 leads an eastbound mixed freight:


Westbound train of empty grain hoppers, led by GP40-2 #6012:


Side view of #6012 (note the offset number on the side of the cab):


Trailing unit - GP38-2 #2520:


Sayonara, enjoy!

I am now living in the Chicago area due to work and I saw my first Union Pacific train not long ago. Having spent most of my life living in VA and railfanning in Brunswick/Point of Rocks/Harpers Ferry, UP was something that always appeared in magazines and in product lines, never in person. Although neat to see something different, I really miss CSX, though. I digress...

-Mike

Since I now live around that area, I'll have to take some pictures and post them here for you to keep up with the activity around your old home.
