CSX-DAN. It's not a siding it is the LIVONIA AVON & LAKEVILLE railroad.

Oh I live in Avon and see one once and a while [:)]


CSX-DAN. That line was conrail until LA&L took it from conrail.

Has anybody seen any Ex-Conrail SD60i's I've seen one NS patched Unit?
Conrails 60i's were the best and the 80MAC's

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

One conrail coal train on the dector would say: conrail coldwater New York track 3 no defects toltall axle count 10-6 99999995 train speed 70mph over. Which i did see that train & that was the longest train that i have seen.


That is the last train to do 70mph and last to see 4 tracks.
