A grain train June 3rd. I would have a shot, but I was on an overpass with cars going 4 feet behind me at 40 mph, I was a tad bit nervous and missed my shot...good job Zach.

Try standing on the island between main 1 and main 2 at the fuel rack and see how nervous you get. On second thought, DON'T.

The CNW 8701 as . . . the CNW 8701.

In other words, unpatched and unpainted (not repainted into armour yellow).

Look for it on the railroad rails Monday. [:D] [:D] [:D]

Saturday night, got stopped by 3 CSX engines in Hanover, PA. They were SD50's 8506 & 8505 and GP40 6527. They were working the yard off of Hanover road and often tie up traffic.
This was a small train. Usually 5 engines on the head end with at least 3 of them being SD50's.

...A pair of CSX SD40-2's, one B/G/Y, one G/B w/ YN, backing a short ballast train into a quarry. Later, I saw the track crew waiting for them to return.

I saw about five or six "Morristown and Erie" SD-40s and a F-40 from a different railroad and an Amtrak Train that looks like a yard train at a shop. Some were torn apart and being worked on and others ready to go back and other about to be worked on. When i ran around and looked at them i was a kid in a candy store.[:D][:P][:-,][swg]

No, after being released from Jenks about a week ago it has been in Arkansas since then.

It is currently, as I type, in lower Illinois and headed to Chicago.

A CP grainer powered by two SD40-2s going flat out to overtake an intermodal pulled by an AC4400 that was doing at least 40mpr. It was at about 9:30pm last night in light rain under the lights in Wauatosa WI (a suburb of Milwaukee.)

Not at all rare power, but one of those moments in railroading that really takes your breath away.

Cheers!

A U.P. hopper car with the reporting mark of CMO. I looked that up to see it's for Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Rwy. I think the CNW quit using the CStpM&O name in the mid-fifites & this hopper car was of fairly recent vintage...
