I cought CSX 7496 leading a southbound intermodal on Satuday 5/30 on the riverline. Also i believe there were about 4 or 5 CR loco's on the Chemical Coast yesterday when I drove s/b to Piscataway.

There was a Conrail C40 in Beacon Park today. I was too far a way to see the number though. Most likely 7493.

I caught this good looking (clean/matching!) pair in Geneva last night.

FYI they are SD40-2's.
