From the road
Title:  From the road
Description:  We chased an eastbound detour train, probably Q 156, or possibly Q 404, I didnt note the symbol, to Susquehanna, then caught this Q 271 there going back. We were able to grab this shot along PA 171 where the tracks go away from the road at Red Rock. Thats my then girlfriend, now wife, Diane, getting a shot of the action too.

Hitting the diamond
Title:  Hitting the diamond
Description:  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.
