CREX 1429

CREX 1429 as she leaves the north yard area to begin the curve along Vancouver Lake headed up toward the Felida Crossing north of here (taken from the Lake Shore - Fruit Valley Road over-pass... and extremely rare that theres absolutely no traffic (automobile) to get in your way because it has to be completely clear between the previous shot and this one to make your way between the two - *and* definitely a coasting consist thats slowing down / idling north, not set to Run.)

CREX 1429 pusher on the oil can coasting north as she passes under the 39th Street Over Pass (just off her nose you can see the sloping road on the northeast side of the bridge where I take more pictures from as it provides access to the north yard). Speaking of oddities - sometimes (rarely) if they have a yellow or red, and you leave the car running, you can snap this picture, then...

BNSF 6412 - BNSF 6093 - CREX 1429 triple-header on northbound coal drag on the heals of the UP... which wed just left the far side of the tracks on the other side of the over-pass. Figures - so I just popped a desperation shot down the road/around the curve coming off the up-and-over.

Being an unisolated M-2, leading, this is pretty rare to see on the BNSF!

K040 heads through Vine at 0943.

K040

K040 creeps ever so slowly through the station during the SEPTA rush. The crew is fearing the one (or more) brainless commuters will cross the tracks after SEPTA clears the station on track 2 and not look for what's coming on track 1. The station does have a tunnel that allows riders to SAFELY cross the tracks to get to the parking lot. A SEPTA rider will eventually get hit, but when? And I hope that I'm NOT a witness.

BNSF 6075 rolls into Old Monroe and takes the siding as it passes CREX 1429 as it waits for a crew on the BNSF Hannibal Sub.
