A “Skittle” Lashup on Memorial Day

Today we headed to town to practice some specific driving in preparation for taking my road test. An added bonus was 929 with a “skittle” lashup, meaning three or more railroads on one train. A CP AC44 lead a pair of ACes, the first BNSF followed by NS. The train was absolutely massive, with many […]

The title says it all. It doesn’t say hour tired I was after, or that I went to Walmart to get a new tripod mount.

The CP Rail Train at South Junction

After going back and forth, we finally found the rail train at South Junction on May 23rd. Although SD30C-ECO units have led these trains in the past, this spring’s train was led by a GP20. As usual, only a couple of rail strands were left by the time the train got to Bluff. A Herzog […]

Chasing the Housatonic Railroad, Part 2

We finally got off of the dirt road and onto pavement again. The NX-11 was notching up and speeding up, too. With the train now going over 20 mph (possibly over 25) and traffic lights and stop signs barring the way, we didn’t catch up to the train again until an overpass south of Canaan. […]

Visiting the Housatonic Railroad, Part 1

On Friday the (May) 13th, I headed out to the Housatonic Railroad in Canaan, CT. I must admit that the hour drive from my grandparents to Canaan was a better learning experience than anywhere else I’ve driven… Our first stop was the engine house and shops just south of the village. The iconic fleet of […]

Thursday Afternoon in South Schenectady: Slow Action and Heat Orders

Last Thursday I had some time to watch trains in the Albany area. I heard that NS 22K had a pair of UP locomotives on it, so we headed to South Schenectady, where the NS (D&H) Freight Main crosses the CSX (NYC) Selkirk Branch (Sub). Only one train was lined on the CSX, and by […]

The Canadian Pacific “Laser Train” – New TEC Train Visits the D&H

On Wednesday and Friday of last week, the new CP TEC train went up and down the D&H. I was able to grab pics of both trips. Notice the lasers by the trucks on the rear car and the 5th “odometry wheel” on the middle car. Wow… that was a lot of pics with no […]
