Why keep posting information about that same two threads into a bunch of smaller threads.

Anyways... Gave chase to the 99 on Thursday night from PC to Franklin Lakes. Really nice lashup!

Snagged two photos of the train. On at PC, Saddlebrook, the other at Franklin Ave, Franklin Lakes. Also got a video of parts of the chase that was shot by Jim Brennan.

Yes. The CSX SD40-2 8828 has been on the NYSW for a few months now. I believe it was part of the equipment that was loaned to them from NS and CSX.

SU99 from 8/30/2010. On duty @ 4:30P with a 5P departure.

3014 on the point with 8828 and 2732 trailing with 16 cars. At Lackawaxen they picked up a cut of Gondolas from the Stourbridge Line.

Photos from the nights run:
Snoot-Nosed Leader
Autumn By Night
Endless Skies Over Mill Rift
Lackawaxen Pickup
Lackawaxen Bridge

Enjoy!

More photos and videos to come from Kaback and NJT4111.

Why so small all of the sudden? In the beginning of the summer, they had 70 car monsters with 5 engines on it three times a week. 16 car?!?!

I guess it was all they needed. Tonights train ran with about 60 cars and 3 of the tunnel motors.

A few weeks back, they had a train with 6 units (I think) with 120ish cars, except the last 20-30 were their own ballast cars, but it was still a monster and VERY impressive to watch those 6 second generation EMD's haul that train up that grade past Smith Mills. No one even comes close with the demand they ask from with those units up those grades and terrain, never gets old! I missed last night's train by literally 2 minutes, and waited around for an hour and a half (not knowing I missed it) and my buddy's place only to hear a horn and see 3022 running long hood forward on WS-5 with four cars. Woops!
