CSX 8137

Right after M361 cleared, we heard CSX Y129 call clear of Hawthorne Yard Limits on the other side of town. CSX Y129 utilizes a section of the belt that passes a pair of former NYC Semaphores that have been replaced with G-Head style trilight signals. While they are fixed as absolutes for both IU and Hawthorne, the signals are a few of a small handful of original signals left in Indianapolis, and I had always wanted to shoot something going by them. We were on the other side of town however and were a bit afriad that we might not get there in time. Thankfully we did, and I finally got a train passing these super unique signals. Definitely my favorite catch of the day!

CSX 8137 is on M-434 at Ridgefield Park, NJ 7/29/2023.

this engine would hang around for awhile

2 SD40-2 were power on Q363, as luck would have it the 8137 would lead Q634 a few days later

Q363 had 2 good engines 3 and 4

even though not leading, always nice to see a straight sd40-2 on the main line

I was very upset when this passed me. it was suppose to have 4 engines, the leader being a SD40-2. It was cut off in Buffalo and lead Q626 well after dark later on

a sd40-2 leads Q561, caught by total surprise passing MP 408

Roster shot of the leader on Q216-30. Former Seaboard and L&N 8137 built in September 1981.

Q216-30 idles on Track 2 Main in South Connellsville with a very nice SD40-2 leader. The B20-8 behind it was a nice bonus too. The train stretched all the way back to the CSX yard and was still waiting for further orders to complete its work. CSX 8137 is former Seaboard and L&N 8137 built in September 1981.
