I caught Q409 at Iona Island. It had two ES44DCs sandwiching a lease SD40-2.

I was lucky, the sun came out just as the head end came through the curve, and disappeared as soon as the engines passed.

Both yesterday and today I saw the daily northbound in Lyndon. Yesterday a Vermont Railway engine (didn't catch the number) with 30-40 cars. Today a Washington Valley & Lammoile ( I believe...) engine # 202. 10-20 cars. I'm getting kind of bored with just sometimes spotting this train, so if any of you know a good hotspot around Northern Vermont or New Hampshire, please tell me. Thanks.

You could try heading northeast to the Island Pond area to find the St. Lawrence & Atlantic line (try east on 105 or north on 114-that's the route I want to try if I can get up to that area). After that, consider heading south to White River Junction. I used to hang out there when I worked across the river in Lebanon, NH. That's where the Washington County/Vermont Railway interchanges with the New England Central and Guilford(B&M/MEC). If you have any questions, let me know.

Jim, you saw the Sesqui!?!?!?! That WC locomotive was done for the state of Wisconsin's Sesquintenial a few years back( I think 1998). It was done along with another locomotive that looked like a normal WC paint scheme, but then with Wisconsin and US flags above the Stripe on the long hood. The WSOR also did a specialty engine up for the occasion. The WSOR has now been repainted, but I still want to catch them sometime, and I hope I will. Now you've got me a little jealous up here........

CSX runs all sorts of crazy lash-ups throught Pittsburgh on the old P&LE. Some of the cooler things I seen

ATSF warbonnet, BN
WC, UP, CSX, CSX
2 AC6000W and a SW100

Those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my mind. Didn't include any UPs because it seems like everyother unit on the CSX system is yellow now a days. The CSX trains call off every singal and most engineers will report their train number, lead engine number and lead engine railroad, so you get a little heads up whats comming

CSX SW1001 #1127

CSX AC4400CW's #461 and #448

On my last couple of trips I saw some decent stuff. On 10/30/05 I went up to Iona Island and saw three trains. The first was Q254 with a CSX SD70MAC leading a UP SD70M
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=123719
I changed locations and set up for another southbound. After a short wait Q403 led by a dark future SD50 and a very faded Warbonnet B40-8W rolled south.
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=123720
I again relocated hoping for some northbounds to come through. No northbounds went by while the sun was still up but Across the river two FL9s in New Haven paint led a disabled MNCR trainset south to Croten Harmon.
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=123822
So that was a decent day.
The next time I had a chance to get out was 11/11/05. I went down to CP5 on the River Line and the first train I saw was Q108 led by two AC4400s the second unit was CSXT 454 "The Spirit of Magnolia"
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=125046
The clouds rolled in and the good lighting went away. Q271 came through with a standard cab C40-8 and a couple of lease units but the picture wasn't that good. I'll be heading out tommorow so hopefully I'll get some more shots in decent light.
