Recently I Saw . . . . . . .

[claypool82]

I dont know what i saw! it was on the Rochelle webcam a few weeks ago about 8.00a.m., 8 or 9 locos with a tank car behind 1st unit and one before the last unit. The locos had marker lights on their sides and to be brutally honest they were plain ugly! Any clues to their identity would be greatly appreciated.

Regards from accross the pond.

Last weekend, I saw CNW 8575. But...thanks to centerbeam cars being to far away, I just got a pictur of it's noe. Today on the other hand looking at the Rochelle camera.



Today at 11:10 AM, I saw the train in the picture above! It is good to see C&NW engines are still alive. One of the two C&NW engines was #6084.

It was a beautiful weekend here and I was busy going here and there. I didn't really doing any railfanning but saw and heard lots of trains. I didn't get any numbers though but I am sure some of you were able to get in some good railfanning. So let's hear those reports. [:)]

I saw Tri-Rail & Amtrak trains yesterday

[techguy57]

I saw UP 3300 in Fox River Grove, IL on Tuesday night running as #2 engine on a run on the Harvard sub towards Janesville,WI. 3300 is in the United Way Stars paint scheme. I only wish it had been during the day and I'd had truned around and followed with my camera in hand!

[8D] good to see your back

[mustanggt]

I havn't seen anything good in weeks, or even months. the last good thing I saw was an Amtrak Genesis on the Downeaster. Pretty standard fare for most of you guys, but my region isn't exactly railroad saturated. [:(]

Saw conrail ? (not a good diesel identifier) no 8212 on a UP train in burbank CA a
couple of days ago.

[fuzzybroken]

Due to the Amtrak #7 derailment, SOO 6044 (EMD SD60, red) and CP 5667 (EMD SD40-2, dual flags) have been sitting at Waterford Avenue near my house for the last two days.

This is cool yesterday when railfaning the Csx Chicago line or the ex Conrail mainline in Batavia NY and east bound Q380 from chicago to Selkirk had a ex WC and a Conrail the Wc was leading but this wasent a WC it was an MRL thats right a Montana Railink all the way up in western ny it surprised me thats for sure. oh yeha 1 me thing can some 1 help me what are the bnsf 100 series uints i saw 1 of them in buffalo yesterday imy guess is that there GP9MS but i dont think so. fans that railfan the rochester to buffalo area keep your eyes open because the wc MRL uint was going east it could be coming back west at some point.

I didn't really get to go railfanning this weekend. I did take a few shots of the River Rail Streetcar and saw several trains but wasn't really railfanning.

Thursday while on the way to work I again saw the green and white locos of the Little Rock and Western. [:D]

Last weekend I saw a loco very close to SP in color. However the blue was more black and it was labeled LTEX. After I did some research I found out that this unit belonged to Larry's Truck and Electric. This was the first LTEX unit I think I have ever saw. [8] [B)] [:0] BTW, the unit turned out to be an ex-SP.

[tmcc man]

I saw 2 NS units with a BNSF, and UP Dash 9 near my home in hatboro on the NS mainline in Willow Grove.

Ditchlights

yes, just ditchlights, couldn't see the train because of the trees. [:(]

[Anonymous]

I was in downtown NLR today and while going over a bridge (over the railyard) I saw a pair of flashing ditchlights. They were a distance away but I figured they belonged to a NS loco. This train was on a set of tracks where it might go to the wye and through my neck of the woods. I hurried home to get the camera to take a few photos, hopefully. It did come through my area but I was just not able to get to a place where I could stop and get a photo or two. [:(!] I was not even able to get the number of the NS locos, but there were two of them. A solid black lashup in yellow territory. [:p]

[oskar]

today I saw a HLCX that was in blue and yellow colors (like the ICE) it was #6213 and a CEFX that was a EX BN and in BN colors also a GECX that was a EX SP in SP colors

Well, they haven't show up in my email box yet. [;)]

I like train pics. [:D]

[CSXrules4eva]

OK I recently saw which was today. Two Septa Silverliner IIIs then I saw one Septa Silverliner I. This was at Norristown Trans Center. Then I saw a manifest train that I'd chased from Norristown to West Conshohocken, PA. It had three smoking Dash-940CWs. It also had a whole bunch of JTTX and RBOX cars on it. They came past me today at about 20 mph but, that was nice I was able to take two good pictures and write down some good reporting marks and numbers!
