I was able to get down to the Riverline twice this week and here is the complete run down of what i saw.

4/26/05:
First by was Q118 with C40-8W and SD70MAC.

Next up was X037 which consisted of 11 engines including 2 UP's and
1 BNSF.

After the X037 was told he would be waiting for a "parade" of trains
at CP10 i moved up to the bridge in Teaneck and caught Q433 with a
pure standard cab lashup.

Then X037 moved north and there was a break in the action until i
missed a southbound intermodal but after that one was Q152 with the
3 UP's and 1 BNSF. Heres the shot with terrible lighting.

4/28/05:
First up was X439 consisting of all loaded trash containers. He
would be held at the signals for CP5 for over an hour blocking Mt
Vernon St. and stinking up Ridgefield Park.

I went down to North Bergen to see the mess Q164 was creating with
the shifted container in his train so he had to back into the NYSW
at CP3 clogging up the line pretty good.

Q268 then came down during a brief moment of sunshine and he had a
nice YN3 SD40-2 leading.

After Q268 i went to Bergenfield where i caught Q409, Q433 and Q438.
All had the regular CSX power and just my luck another storm was
moving in making lighting awful but heres the shots of Q409 and Q438.

I then wennt to the foot bridge in Teaneck where i saw Q410 chugging
northbound to the clear signal at CP10.

Then Q433 was told he could leave the controlled siding at CP7 so i
went back down to Ridgefield Park and saw him come down in brilliant
sun shine.

After waiting around i decided to go chase the SU99 on the way home
and i got two shots of it one at West Milford and the other at
Hardyston.
