CSX Albany Division River Subdivision QR-CP102 West Camp, New York, USA 16 July 2015 - 18:45 EDT What a catch! Seven units: Every one of them an EMD and every one of them a conventional cab! Oh, how I miss the days of pre-wide cab models! Mid consist was even a CEFX SD40-2 leaser for good measure. When Deb and I arrived at West Park; Q417 was awaiting on the main for a re-crew; which arrived about 19:00. After the recrew, it was supposed to have headed south and actually got the clear, but NI dispatcher decided to hold Q417 a bit longer for Q002 which was rapidly catching up. And you know those UPS expediteds gotta go first!
