The three types of locomotives that most often prowl the rails around Hagerstown on CSX- SD50's, GP40-2's and GP38-2's idle alongside each other almost perfectly.

The D773 pulls out of Ventura foods light after almost three hours of switching in Chambersburg.

The D773 passes a bucolic farm with a "rust bucket" leader.

The D773 heads to pick up a couple cars from NS as the CCS switcher basks in the sunlight.

A WW local passes the point where WW ownership of the line begins. Notice the NS owned portion is freshly ballasted and the WW-owned segment barely has any ballast.

A WW turn crosses a new crossing near the Valley Mall.

C39-8's on 35Q pass a WW train about to head south (although it heads north before it gets to the wye). Note the Milwaukee Road boxcar at the neighboring industry. There were two of these at the... (more)

V86 (crew said it became V87 when leaving the yard) and the 37Q sit alongside local power. Note the dove on the rail.

A nice duo of C39-8 leads the 35Q south. This is just east on the RR of CP Town (west geographically).

A nice pair of UP's lead the 203 down the "Brick" while the 227 waits on the main.

Just before sunset, a rare WLE grainer struggles with its 51 car train across a seldom shot bridge. This is probably the largest ex-WM trestle in regular use.

In sweet sunlight, a pair of AC4400's returns with a slugset it picked up to tackle the grade at Williamsport Hill.

The sun pops out as a CR led 37Q shuffles around some cars. Trailing is a very low numbered C39-8.

A northbound 36Q passes a Herzog ballast train waiting for a crew to head south. Two C39-8's are trailing on the 36Q.

Power for the D720 (a night train almost always) sits on the wye that heads to NS. The first unit, CSX 6000, the class unit of GP40-2 was cut off and put on CSX D797.
