Saw the westbound NS empty coal train sitting at the old Erie freighthouse in Salamanca, last Friday, Aug. 15. Was powered by a single GE Dash 9. It appeared that it may have been waiting for an eastbound train, because it was idling and the headlights were on. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera or time to wait and see what was going to happen next. Also, the Olean Yard has an interesting mix of power as has been mentioned in other threads. Alco's, SD-45 and SD-40's, and whatever NS sends through on the coal trains. A while back the eastbound loaded coal train had 3 units on front including a BNSF, NS, and former Conrail engine, all GE's if I remember correctly. Happy fanning, and stay off the tracks.
