CSX Freight heads West
I hope heaven ls as good as this.
Cloudy skies and a fresh white blanket of snow make this exotic consist stand out even more than normal.
I can almost believe for a second that the L&N 1253 will need a warrant from Plummer to Bemidji....
The "At your own risk" sign on the road fits the scene well. CP 490-13's train sits on the SOO's Bemidji Sub, or atleast whats left of it, awaiting"a recrew.
The last hurrah of my chase was to get a shot of him clattering over the BN's Monti Sub at Crystal as the sun sets and the clouds move in.
With the batwing's pulsating and the K5LA (which was perfectly tuned) melody in full effect, CSXT 8328 plus four rips past the gigantic work truck ruining the depot shot.
About the only spot where Eastbound afternoon shots can be doable on the whole friggin Subdivision until you get to Humboldt. It worked out perfect.
A scene that could easily be confused as somewhere in Ohio, CSXT 8328 East splits the mix of wind gust and silence as it rolls through Eden Valley.
A wider shot of the once in a lifetime consist as it hustles East through Regal.
With the 645 churning and the open bearings spinning, CSXT 8328 continues Eastward along the old Soo Line.
Louisville and Nashville is well represented on todays 490, although only the leader is from the true family, as the 8122 and 8146 came with Seaboard System Grey.
The K5LA tune fills the air as the CSX's swing through the curve at Sedan.
The engineer has the four CSX's swaying from side to side as he accelerates at MP 116 with his 12152 ton monster.
Pulling around the bend at Glenwood is what I'd been waiting for going on five days. Since coming West under darkness on the night of the 12th, this consist was on my radar and I was determined to get a shot of it. Five days later, six different call times later, a new lead unit and an MP15AC for good measure, and its finally about to happen.
