CSX Railroad (CSX) 4533 - EMD SD70MAC

Close behind I136 was E600 with a solo SD70MAC rebuild.

Eastbound autorack train stopped and waiting for a signal to proceed, with some peaking fall colors in the background.

b795-13

I knew I028 was coming north with a SD70MAC on the front for a long time, but it took forever to show up where I was. Apparently a detector had hit it around Woodland and it had to stop for a while. During the 2 hour wait, nothing else showed up where I was sitting at Grant Park. Since I had a decent leader and good light, I decided to call I028 the final train of the day, and grabbed a shot with the new 23 Trailblazer in the frame. The GPS had me home at 10:30 and I decided I wanted to drive home in some daylight. A slow, but very fun day!

I025 (Bedford Park, IL - Jacksonville, FL) coasts downhill through Bakers.

I141 (North Baltimore, OH - Fairburn, GA) rounds the curve just south of CP Maplewood. The train has just met I026 on the dual mains between here and CP Ekin.

5 units on the bottom of the picture came in on Q371

Road train power sits in Pinoca.

and the MACs roll on! the 4533 would hang around the area for quite awhile after this

These guys were going so slow, I was able to catch up in under 3 miles!

notice the little sticker, it says "DP". Looks like MACs are going to be DPU compatible now

Q364 had a very special treat! 2 brand new rebuilt SD70MACs!
