    CSX Mohawk Sub Trains At MP280, MP282 Cross walk in Minoa, and MP285 East Syracuse.

    Focused on a couple of manifests, first one with EMD power trailing. Unusual EMD's

    Norfolk Southern In Wabash Indiana ( Huntington District )

    Had to visit for family reasons, so why not "rail fan" a foreign territory ? Found two spots at either end of town. MP188 & MP191 "Higley" road crossing. ONE thing for sure, CSX doesn't have a monopoly on long trains :)

    A VERY Short Line?? All EMD Powered as well Ithaca Central Rail Road

    Kind of a simple task, haul loaded salt cars from Lancing to Sayre PA, haul empties back to the mine and repeat. Simple right?

    CSX Main Again 2-20-24. Real Sunny & Bright Day LOTS Of Variety

    Started & Ended at cp285 East Syracuse. Wandered to Minoa Cross Walk , Trapper 2 Pizza ;) & Kirkville MP280 as well. A real mix today, from a EMD SD70AC lead, to the typical mix of GE ES & ET44AH's, and some older ES40DC's mixed in.

    CSX Main Between MP 280 & 281 East Of Minoa , Saintsville Road. Real Busy That Day

    I was there maybe an hour & a half. Just one after another train went by. Pretty much stopped as it would take HOURS to process and moved before it got dark. Also a series of Lake Effect Snow bands were on their way. Wasn't interested in navigating that like last week again. BUT prolly missed...

    Best Central New York Railfan Spots

    Now after a year or so , we have quite the variety from Norfolk & Southern in the Old East/West Erie Line to Buffalo to the CSX Main From Buffalo to Selkirk.

    A LOT Of CSX Activity At MP 309 & 315 On The Rochester Subdivision

    Really a pretty good day for rail fan. There were a few others as well interestingly enough. An interesting side note is BECAUSE they sail by at 45 plus MPH the video segments for each train is short vs. the DeWitt yard where they are moving slow....SO in 20 Minutes got like 6 good sized freight...

It has a 6 cylinder evo stuck in that old sd40-2...
