The train shoved onto CSX Track 1 at MP 235 (more often, they enter the main at MP 238) and is seen here passing both ex-NY Central Tower 30 and MA&N's engine house.

Note also MA&N locomotives Nos. 805 and 2042 in the background.

How fast do you think he was traveling?

Well, where I was videoing is just a few hundred yards east of Union Station. The speed limit by the station is 50, so no more than 50. West of the station, I'm told they are now allowed a top speed of 60.

Here's another MA&N on the CSX main, this time a few miles farther west in Oriskany on April 6th:

Amtrak No. 48 came along a few minutes later and is included as well.

The first-half of this three-minute video features MA&N on CSX the morning of April 9th at approximately MP 240:
