Engine engine number 9
Title:  Engine engine number 9
Description:  CSX is unusual among class 1 roads, in that it starts its locomotive numbering with 1. This is the lowest numbered unit I have seen, #9, leading 109 cars of K 277 at South Plainfield as it heads for, among other places, a landfill in the south, as much of the consist is trash containers.

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.

CSX from the Skyway
Title:  CSX from the Skyway
Description:  One of the up sides of Chicago traffic congestion was that sometimes you could get a shot of a train while sitting in traffic. Here we see CSX power at the engine facility at Park Manor Yard, near 63rd St on the South Side, seen from the Chicago Skyway.

Everyone is here
Title:  Everyone is here
Description:  Even a couple of Conrail units. Selkirk is looking like North Platte when it comes to run through power. Here we have a full view of the Santa Fe cowl unit, as well as power from NS, UP and CSX, as well as a partly hidden GP 30 rebuild from BN. Oh, there are some Conrail units here too.

Warbonnet on the river
Title:  Warbonnet on the river
Description:  13T arrives at Binghamton behind the unlikely combination of a BNSF warbonnet GE, and a CSX standard cab GE, with 34 cars in tow for Allentown. Binghamton was one of those places where anything could show up, and usually did. The NS era is proving to be no different in that regard than any previous era.

13T with western power.
Title:  13T with western power.
Description:  As I have noted elsewhere in this album, 13T could sometimes show up with some surprises. Here its going through Endicott behind a pair of GEs. Not a big deal, except on is a BNSF unit still in red and silver, the other is a standard cab CSX unit. The train will meet H 88 at Binghamton in about 20 minutes. H 88 has a pair of BNSF AC4400s. The Tier was never boring!!

Detour
Title:  Detour
Description:  CSX would sometimes hand off overflow traffic to the NYSW. These trains, SU 403 and 404 on the Suskie, were obviously not high priority, as it would sometimes take 24 hours to get them from Jersey back onto CSX at Syracuse. Here we see one of them behind a Bright Future standard cab C40 and the surviving F45, 3636, just after taking the switch to the Syracuse branch at Chenago Forks.
