The train I noted above was on Monday and it was not blades, it was big sections of white pipe, one to a car, I assumed it was the base sections. My bad if not wind turbine related.

Saw them a few weeks ago heading East also.
Took me by surprise, did see two rail fans taking pictures at the cemetery road overpass.

I think it was 39T, was being asked to get ready to stop fast by the NS police. But not to go too slow, keep around 10 MPH, and then stop when asked.
Should be interesting.

Anyone have info on it, or just normal inspections.

The speed of removing the coaches has little to do with getting them to Syracuse. The fact is that CSX did not want to handle the train at all even though it is the shortest route to Syracuse from Binghamton. A compromise was reached to take the flat cars as normal over the water level route wherea...

This year Usher and Justin Bieber will be on stage together at Curriers. Or not. I don't know what will be different about this year, but I'm really looking forward to it. Last year's double-header was spectacular. I am embarrassed to even admit I know who these people are, and even more that until...

I was trackside to see that train the Strates train came along from the other direction completely unexpectedly by me. It was a very nice surprise! Your post was clear, I just ...
