WM unit
Title:  WM unit
Description:  I normally dont shoot mid consist units, but anything lettered Western Maryland was getting rare by this time. A Chessie painted WM unit is trailing on this 172 at North Collier. Wish I'd shot the unit behind it-a GP 30 in Seaboard paint.

They come in all colors
Title:  They come in all colors
Description:  There was a wide range of paint schemes on CSX in the early days, as Chessie and Seaboard had not painted all of their component roads in their schemes as of the merger date. It resulted in power sets like this one at the Huntington shop. Oddly, the one CSX painted unit in this group is the one that will be off the roster soonest.

Lucky catch
Title:  Lucky catch
Description:  Immediately beyond this grade crossing was an intersection. I looked up and down the track before crossing, as I was pulling a 53 foot trailer and would not clear it if I pulled up to the light. To the north was a signal, which was green. Since most signals are approach lit, I figured there was likely a train coming, so I held back. Good thing. This showed up before the light changed.

New GEs
Title:  New GEs
Description:  CSX and NS picked up new units from GE in Erie PA, often running them in revenue service til they were delivered to their owners. Here we see a pair of spanking new units headed east on the Chicago Line. Theyll get to UP eventually. I often think some units follow me around. The trailing unit, 6628, is one I would encounter again, but not for another ten years. I caught it in the lead on a coal train in Nebraska in 2011.

Q391
Title:  Q391
Description:  We were riding around Syracuse one day and saw this guy rolling west. We were in my wifes 2001 Stratus R/T, the 5 speed. She asked if I wanted to chase it. I told here there was almost no chance of catching up, given the track speed on the Water Level Route. Next thing, we were on the Thruway going 90 MPH. We beat him to Weedsport, just barely.
