An eastbound transfer job from Rockport to E55th Street Yard has just left the the old Big Four and entered the old NKP main at "Cloggsville" as she meanders across The Flats.
On a beautiful winter day a westbound coal drag glides across the old NYC&STL viaduct better known as The Nickel Plate Road.
With the Pittsburgh helpers cutoff and the conductor back on the headend after rearming the rear marker the hogger has this westbound coal drag in "run 8" as she takes the signal at 192.
With solid UP power the 145 finally has the railroad to Bellevue, this train usually takes the old NKP route but with pickups at Rockport today she is routed via The Chicago Line.
Cleveland Terminal Dispatcher gives the railroad to another westbound as the 145 tiptoes to the signal. I just missed a three way meet as the 22K was directly behind me.
While waiting on the 145 seen to the right in the distance a westbound intermodal takes the old NYC "search light" signal that still stands guard at 192.
17Q knocks the "limited clear" signal down as a very sudden thick fog sets in! This scene was clear ten minutes prior when I was setting up for this shot.
A string of 40's waits their turn for service on "the pit" as to the right a string of 80MAC's are fresh in from a load out at the mine south of South Fork PA.
A westbound NS mixed bag rolls through 194 on the EX Conrail Chicago Line as an eastbound CSX stack train blows by on the old Conrail Indy Line.
After cutting the helpers and getting a recrew at Altoona, 646 is on the move eastbound as the snow continues to be dumped on the Alleghenies.
Eastbound grain negotiates this nice sweeping curve on a cold winter day!
A rare lash up of three horses still in Conrail paint with two SD50's (5404 trailing) and SW1500 #2222 westbound.
A westbound intermodal kicks up the fresh blanket of snow as old man winter keeps pouring it on, Merry Christmas to all!
After digging out of Buffalo this visitor is on her way west to thaw out a little..........
A westbuond rack train climbs the east slope along route 22 on a "warm" December day.
