CA60 took the second cut of oil loads to Sunoco today with the Erie heritage unit in the trailing position. After scoping out the GC Cafe for photo ops (and realizing how crappy the lighting was), I made an effort to go a little further south for better pics.

YPCA05 made their way out of Pavonia light with the 64W power to make an empty oil pull at Sunoco. They got as far as CP Brown before being told that the pull would not be made today. One reason could be MOW but that's just a guess based on broken radio conversation with a work foreman.
Here's YPCA05 at 12th Street heading back to Pavonia light with NS 9274, 2546, and 9210-

YPCA05 made their way down to Sunoco in Westville with the first cut of 64W, and one awesome trio of engines.

The Lehigh Valley heritage unit led the train along with Mexican Ferromex and Canadian British Columbia power, FXE 4044 and BCOL 4604.
I originally started at Pavonia, but the light was much better south so here they are rolling through Westville-

We thought that they might switch the FXE and BCOL units at Westville before heading north but they ran the BCOL unit long hood forward. The cowl body is actually recessed in and a crew can run it that way without hanging out of the window to see forward.

65W went out Friday with just the Lehigh Valley and the Ferromex. The BCRail engine was left behind at Pavonia.

The next 64W came in Friday night before the Delair Bridge 72-hour hiatus took effect. The power was at Pavonia Sunday morning, photographed from the State Street bridge.

A better view of the BNSF engines in Westville for the first empty pull.

[chuchubob]

The second empties pull was Monday at noon. 65W, with only the BNSF engines, was at Cove Road by mid afternoon. It won't go out prior to overnight because the Delair Bridge is out of service until then.

BNSF 7237 and BNSF 5632 are with the current oil train power.

Oh man... my head is spinning...

LOL. The image that pops into my mind is one of those "Far Side" greeting cards - "The Math Phobic's Nightmare" (Math Phobic stands at the Pearly Gates, and St. Peter (or whoever) says to him something like "OK, you can enter heaven if you can answer this question - A train leaves Philadelphia at 7:09 A.M traveling at 96 mph towards New York; another train leaves New York at 8:10 A.M. traveling at 87 MPH towards Philadelphia. What time do the two trains pass one another?")

YPCA05 took oil from Pavonia to Westville with CP 9523 second Wednesday afternoon.
