CSX Trenton Line photo reports

CSA has one, Lehigh Line has one, I figured I'd give this a shot rather than posting a new thread every time I go out.

I went out this afternoon/evening and saw five trains in the beautiful weather in the Skillman area, including Q417 with a BNSF leader and unpatched warbonnet trailing. Pictures are here. Enjoy!

a couple more today, with the BNSF power reversed on Q418, meaning the warbonnet led. They also stuck a CR switcher in there too! K207 and Q191 past Hopewell station in the afternoon light are also included

4 trains, 5 CSX engines, 5 foreign power engines (IC, CN, and UP)

You've got some nice shots in there! I'm sure I'll see you up at Hopewell sometime.


Some stuff from Monday: In another failed attempt to see the circus train, I at least came away
with a few interesting shots

Hope you don't mind sharing this post, if you wish, I can make another...

^Cool photos. Nice touch with the kids in the shot waving and all.

hioo1--Great pictures!--Is that ROW to be double tracked?--Is that a freight house in several of the photos?

It was double-tracked at one time. If and when NJT gets its act and money together for W. Trenton service, it will likely be double-tracked in parts for passing sidings, although CSX may demand full double-tracking as a condition to new service.

JLo got it right, and it is a freight station in some of those pics, or at least was a freight station. It was in very poor condition untill a few years back, a local boyscout rebuilt it for his eagle scout project. Now it is currently a part of the community center as is the bottom floor of the train station (I believe a yoga class is sometimes in there, must be interesting trying to concentrate with those trains roaring through less than 20 yards away!)

Oh and I have a few more pictures up fromt his weekend, http://gal.epiphanydesign.net/trainsinhopewell

Shot 3 loooong trains (Q300 with UP locos, Q418, Q410), and got some nice ones of C761 at 3M yesterday
