all in Rochelle???? all I see is UP and BNSF except last year I saw a ex CN unit still in CN paint right in the middle of the train ( unit was DEAD) and a GP9 right in the middle of a train

Southbound CSX Q620-03 at Evans Mills, NY, with 5 engines on the point. I'm still working on the details, but as near as I can figure, the last 8-10 cars of the train derailed about 20 minutes later, just north of Watertown...

CSX local with usual GP38 on the point, assisted by the two SOO engines that probably brought the coal into town. Hoppers were all of western (to us) orgin - BN, SOO, CNW, et al.

One unit was SSW 7275, with Cotton Belt side lettering. The other was 7105 {found a better photo} with SP on the nose but no side lettering.

Thanks, I should have gone to Oxnard this weekend. I did get to see SP 8681.

Last night I recently saw. . . .. . . .two Amtrak Dash-944Cs at 30th Street Station #s 500, and 502. They were on the fuel track. Then about a week ago I saw a empty coal train w/ a BNSF AC44CW, and a NS dash 840C. These were the trailing engines. I couldn't see the lead engines. The train was on the NS mainline in Conheockein, PA.

A HLCX 9026 (I think) and it still said MPI on it just fading away

Rode up to Oxnard today (20th)...they're still there! On the next track over there is a UP caboose that is covered in graffiti

SP 8681 has been sitting in the local train yard for about a week. It appears that something was by the tracks. The left front handrails and the associated steps have been severly damaged.

UP 5965 A Flag unit


I have been seeing some SP units but they were patched. [:(]

I went railfanning today. The day started out real nice but turned cloudy just as I got to a railfanning spot. I took photos anyway, if they turn out, well good, if they do not turn out, then well what can you say.

Went out yesterday to kississimee and took a good look around, the Amtrak lean-tos had severe roof damage. But what really made me curious was when ever a vehicle drove over the tracks I could hear the rails make this curious KA-THUNK, KA-THUNK sound and I was only 3 feet away from the crossing and standing near the empty tracks, while waiting, watching for a train to come round the corner, but none came, only sounds of the rails making that weird sound.

Anyone care to comment?

Today I accidentally saw NS 9755 and NS 8356. I was on the way to the LHS (which I found out has now closed [V] ) and was taking the long way (to go by Union Station of course [:p] ) and they came by. I bearly had time to grab a pen and write down the numbers, there were also 2 UP engines in the lashup but I was not able to get them.

I crossed over the 3rd Street bridge and saw a UP winged unit waiting to go by Union Station and into the yard or on to parts north.

The other morning at 4 am while on the way to work I saw a UP unit but was not able to read the number on it.

Another day I saw UP 267 (I think that is the correct number). It was a pusher on a loaded coal train.

I actually have been seeing "power" but many times it is on the way to work and I can bearly (if at all) see them long enough to get numbers.
