Nightfall has come to the Connellsville CSX yard, here on the second-longest day of the year. CSX 137 is stopped on westbound Q358-20 and DME 6081 is on Track 43 getting refueled on an ethanol train.
Empty ethanol train passing the VI Tower, westbound on Track 43. It was ran down this track to get it off the mainline so that it could get refueled. DME 6381 was built as CP CP 5514 SD40 built in September 1966. And now that DME is owned by CP, this engine has come full circle again.

With a "heads-up" from my buddy Jack Jakeman, and only a 1/2 hour to spare, I headed for Memphis to try and catch the K653 with CN power on it. That did'nt happen; but I did catch this at around 17:35.....I think they called it the K634......back-lit of course.........dang it! About an hour and a half later I did see the K653 though; from the Syracuse Chiefs baseball stadium!!!

Excitemens and desperation builds as we speed through the streets of Elmwood Park trying to keep up with a CP manifest that is increasing in speed. With K3LA airhorns blarring, CITX 3098 accelerates through Elmwood Park Metra station. What a sweet sound those 645's were making.
6081 waits for a signal at Genoa, IL. This is one ugly patchjob of an engine.
