A Birds eye view of CSX in the Hudson Valley, NY....
Posted by dwil89 on Monday, June 29, 2009 6:56 PM

Last Thursday, I took another hike up from riverlevel to the top of Dunderberg Mountain which is located just South of Bear Mountain in the Hudson Valley of NY along the North-South CSX Riverline.

I caught a Southbound CSX Q409 from this elevated perch on a hot Thursday afternoon as it rolled across Iona Island Southward./P>

Another nice one dave....Scanner sounded clear. 

I drove across that bridge in 1950 the weekend the Korean War began....of which later, I'd be participating in.....

Thanks....In retrospect, I should have tweaked the scanner volume down a bit lower.....I had the scanner and antenna hanging from a nearby treebranch and an extension speaker was resting on the tripod below the camera which amplified the volume.. To compare, Sunday's 'Reflections of CSX' video was shot 'way down below' looking towards the causeway where the train curves away out of view...
