Oh yeah Lord Atmo, Congrats on your 100th post

Oskar - Check this out: http://unicapital.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=395129

Primer UP 8468 (SD70ACe) headed towards NS's "Juniata Shops" in Altoona, PA to be painted. Caught this guy as the fourth unit on a NS manifest train today (6/4/06).

While also at Berea, OH today I caught to CSX GEVOs on a fast moving 75 mph eastbound Q164. 5210 and 5336!

Caught a six-unit lash-up on NS (NS, BNSF, NS, NS, NS, NS). Which was fairly good seeing on a usually "double-catfish" railroad.

I saw CSX 607 blinking both of it's ditchlights at the same time pulling three UP SD70Ms and a scrap train which was pretty sweet and I got the CSX 4714 (SD70AC) that is missing the nose logo with CSX 656 (AC60CW) puling Q268, an auto rack train.

Over all, I give today a 8 out of 10. Another cool thing was seeing NS 4815 (Conrail Paint - B40-8) and 5432 (Conrail Paint - SD50) pulling a roadrailer (Triplecrown).

Talk to ya later!

Anything special about these states that i should know (bearing in mind that it may be winter before i even get there?)

Well i got forums to check, i may be back later

Ya... thats a way out. Anything interesting you say...well.. The milwaukee roads old rail line ran through all the states mentioned. So you could probably follow that all the way to Duluth...[;)]

Rick- There are atleast 2 or 3 CSX SD70's hanging out with no CSX on the nose I saw CSX 4709 without one.

hmmmm is NS painting a UP haritage unit?? I guess SP or DRG&W. I know UP 8521 was headed to Butler,WI then to be sent to WSOR to be painted back on 5/25. We shall see what happens.

THE DEAL WAS FOR ME TOO SWITCH FROM WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY. AMY ASKED IF I WANTED TO WORK SUNDAYS. I SAID NO, BUT I WOULD WORK SUNDAYS INSTEAD OF WEDNESDAY ON THOSE WEEKS THAT I WORKED WEDNESDAY. BUT THAT WOULDNT APPLY THIS WEEK, AS I DONT WORK WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK!!! ITS NOT MY FAULT. NOONE HAD NOTIFIED ME I WAS ON THE SCHEDULE. AND IT SURE AS HELL ISNT ON MY SCHEDULE.
OFFICE MISTAKE. THE END. MISUNDERSTANDING.
MAN IM HOT RIGHT NOW. (as in angered)

Lol, Max, it doesnt hurt for you to ever admit your wrong. I have seen plenty of things around here, from CN not having SD40-2W's, or GP40-2L's, or UP leasing the ACe's. So maybe it was your fault maybe it wasnt. Dont be so mad about it.

Alec

[coborn35]

Ok, UP DOES lease the ACe's and I am very right. You dont even have a clue what we are talking about.
And im not Canadian. Thats my excuse.[:D]

[alstom]

Oskar - the 4709 still doesn't have a nose logo. I belive that 4709 and 4714 are the noly two remaining CSX units without nose logos.

I have no clue if the UP SD70ACe I caught yesterday, will be become a Heritage Unit. It was no. 8468 according to the number boards which you can see clearer in this pic: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=348992

As for CSX GEVOs that I've seen, I caught 5234 with paint. I belive the three that 'were' remaining in primer have been painted. (5217, 5224 and 5234)

That's not a valid excuse with CN...any road that goes as far south as New Orleans, you can't say "I'm american, it's not near me"...it's got as many american miles as KCS..well, close at least..
Nothing new with me...
