CSX train G076 4/28/2015

CSX train G076 rounds the curve between CP293 and the south end of Onondaga Lake on the Syracuse terminal-Oub. The year 1906 is stamped into the upper right corner of this old abutment which I think once supported the West Shore RR over the NYC here.

If there's one thing I like about the G076 it's the ola rolling stock that makes up this train.

Until today (10/31/2015) I totally forgot about seeing this car in this train. My friend Max Smith shot video of this train as it passed through Liverponl about 15 minutes after I shot it here. I watched his video for the first time this morning, and picked this car out as one of my favorites; and then I started thinking: did I see this too?

The crew on this train decided to rgverse it into the plant today. The conductor is covering his ears as the horn llows on the run-around move at Owens Road.

G076 reverses the first third of the train into the plant.

A wider view of the train down&in the plant.

It's not very often that you see the switch in this position.

Light power climbs out of the plant for the second of three cuts. Car PMRX 8601 will be the one they'll couple to.

The conductor has just coupled the power to the train.

As seen from Mullen Road.......the crew is making the second cut and will soon reverse it into the plant.

Reversing the second cut into the plant.

The engineer on CSX train G076 is pulling the train clear of the switch for Sunoco, and then will reverse this third and final cut into the plant. Shot from Mullen Road.

This old Conrail car is in the third cut of cars being delivered to Sunoco's ethanol plant in Fulton, NY by CSX train G076

Well, not done yet..........they still gotta bring the power out of the plant, but for the most part their work is done as the crew brings the third and final cut into the plant.
