It's 2 PM Sunday and I think I heard an eastbound, possibly stopped at Pelton Road. Sounded like a three horn chime.............now, this morning at 3 AM, I heard a westbound working it's way up the grade at New Milford. I live about two miles away, but it's dead quiet here in Warwick, especially at 3 AM, and the noise was great.... need to know if my guess is correct of three to four Alcos with one EMD mixed in. Also, if you cup your hands over your ears, you can hear most of the trains cars on the jointed rails..... really sounds nice.

Nope, it's an eastbound with a five horn chime and it's moving out of Warwick, heading east for you photographers out there.......................

Now don't get mad... but here's what that mid day eastbound was.... It was the SU-403, who met the Q271 at Sparta Jct. And here are some images of the train, with a brand spankin new BNSF GEVO on the point!

First off, the train is seen heading eastbound through Hawthorne in mid afternoon on Sunday...

Lots of people out with the cameras to day, and my only regret is I wasn't able to get further up the line to shoot it on the mountain.

This is why I like to post these trains.. if I miss them, I still get to see them....another interesting horn on a westbound through Warwick last night about 7:30 PM. It is Monday at 8:20 AM and I will be overlooking the NS/NYSW here in Warwick until 4 PM.
