CSX L042 arrives in Lansdale with 11 cars and three SD40-2's for power.

To end our first day me and Michael drove to the southern end of Bergen ICTF to catch Q434 with a nice power set. Hear they are waiting to shove back into Bergen ICTF for work. Cardella is in the foreground

The crackling of another eastbound came over the scanner so I decided to head back over into Ohio and sit across the street from the grain elevator. Soon enough I picked out the symbol, CSX Q008, the hottest train on the Indy Line. They were giving an engine number, but I only interpreted the first 3 numbers, 802. I was quite surprised when I got outside and heard the recognizable sound of an EMD Prime Mover and a sharp K5LA. CSX 8024, a veteran L&N SD40-2, was leading todays UPS Mail toward New Jersey. An almost unheard of sight in 2021. SD40-2s are pretty commonplace leaders on CSX still, but hardly ever do they get tacked on priority trains such as Q008. This ultimately would go down as the best train of the day.

a sd40-2 leads Q008, something you dont see often anymore!

Four standard cabs, including a GP15-1, trail on CSX Q353. Not too unusual to see large powermoves on this train, but it is always cool to see whats on them!
