Yard power meets the 37Q, which for the second day in a row had CR and BNSF.
A better view of the "Swoosh" and the Conrail on 37Q.
37Q, with a CR leading a swoosh, swaps a cut of cars. His train is on the main but going into the yard requires using the crossover, as he does here.
On the last day of February, 37Q moves his locals with a UP in the consist and also a DDOX load (which he would drop off to be put on 11R).
Very nice to see an EMDX leader on 37Q. This train never left the yard in daylight but fortunately I caught him in the last rays of sunlight.
37Q accelerates out of Hagerstown with a sweet ex-CR leader (rare for these parts). Steelers fans, check out the first car!!!
A beat-up Ex-Conrail SD40-2 lays down a dusting of sand as it struggles upgrade at 10 mph in frigid Wx. A MOW employee called as the train passed and reported that the brakes on many of the cars ... (more)
Nice to see a trio of SD60's and 2 exec. coaches.
A very long NS 37Q creeps west through Marion just before sunset.
V86 (crew said it became V87 when leaving the yard) and the 37Q sit alongside local power. Note the dove on the rail.
The sun pops out as a CR led 37Q shuffles around some cars. Trailing is a very low numbered C39-8.
NS 37Q grinds upgrade out of Chambersburg after meeting 16T and 227. The third unit is an Ex-Conrail SD70.
The westbound 37Q rolls through CP 50 about to meet 16T and 227 which are in the controlled siding.
NS 37Q starts across the Rockville Bridge as a flock of geese take flight to get a closer look.
NS 37Q passes through the beautiful Pennsylvania countryside towards Hagerstown, MD.
