LMS power too
Title:  LMS power too
Description:  Conrail leading arm LMS had a group of C40-8s that it shared with CN, but which were painted CR blue. One of them has made it onto CSX, and is leading this 84 car auto rack train west. Note also the second unit, a GP 15-1. This is one of the units CSX got in the Conrail split-CR had 100 of them, new in 1979. Chessie acquired 25 of its own, a turbocharged variation called a GP15T-1, in 1982.

Morning westbound
Title:  Morning westbound
Description:  The first train I saw when I arrived that day was Q 115, coming right out of the early sun with 202 stack platforms. CSX was continuing Conrails practice of monster stack trains. The eight units should be sufficient to get the train over the road on the virtually gradeless Water Level Route, though their muscle will be appreciated in the climb up the Niagara Escarpment 60 or so miles farther on.

Canned
Title:  Canned
Description:  NYSW would sometimes recrew trains at Chenango Bridge if they needed to stow the train somewhere for a while when they didnt have a crew ready immediately. One place they did this was at Chenango Bridge, where there was a long stretch with no crossings. Were at Kattelville Rd adjacent to the Chenango Valley school districts bus garage, where this CSX detour train has been stashed til theres a crew.
