Pulling into the yard.
After shooting Wilbur Trestle, Kingston Tunnel and the Sperry Rail'truck, my stepson and I went for dinner at Burger King. As we were leaving, we caught this northbounder. A great last shot from a great day of railfanning!
Q 626 at Weedsport behind a mixed bag of power, including a western visitor.
A southbound grain train approaches the diamond for the ex EL at Marion running on the ex C&O. Both lines are now CSX, but the EL line is actually part of the ex NYC, which had joint track through here with EL as-part of its Big Four route to Indianapolis. Note the cut outs on the pilot of 8866; they have been modified to run in the third rail territory on Metro North south of Croton Harmon on trains to Oak Point Yard in the Bronx.
Q418 has a very interesting lash-up today.
In the scrapyard I spotted 4 EMD cabs, the left 2 from CSX 8871 and CSX 8866, both Ex-CR SD40-2's, and another pair from some scrapped San Luis & Rio Grande engines.
Q621, the daily Selkirk to Montreal train, passes underneath the bridge at Lock 12.
Note the non CSX nose, someone was lazy at the paint shop! LOL

The fifth unit on 417, and the third of the ex-CR diesels to Camden. They will probably see a mix of duties to perform, such as locals around south NJ and switching moves.
With two GEVOs and a trio of standard cab, ex-CR EMDs(all in different colors) lead Q417 through FJ towards Camden.
