PHOTOS: WINTER ROUNDUP |

Posted by Jersey Mike on Sun Apr 20 23:27:53 2014 The first third of the year is normally my slow season for photos. Not sure why, but usually its because I am not planning any major trips anywhere and also its cold and grey and wet out so there's no much opportunity for good photos. This year wasn't much different, but I did get a few dribs and drabs in over the months so I am jamming them together into a single post.We start off in January where I was left with some time to kill while a friend rode his horse. Fortunately he was riding next to the former B&O Old Main Line and I had enough time to run down and catch some CSX action. The OML is popular with coal trains headed to/from the Port of Baltimore and Hazmats bypassing DC. Here in the first video a pair of CSX AC4400's #135 and #44 lead an eastbound coal train past the Milepost 36 automatic signal with ES44AH #727 and AC4400 #491 helping on the rear. Still photo of #727 and #491 helping on the rear.  A few minutes later a westbound train of empties appeared with CSX AC4400's #6 and #373 leading.  Video of that train as well. During a trip over President's Weekend I stopped by DAVIS interlocking in Newark, DE and got this photo of a southbound Regional headed by Amtrak HHP-8 #653.  Over by the >new Newark station a short NS freight was preparing to head out of the old Chrysler Yard with NS C40-10W #7557 providing the power.  It wasn't long before it pulled past the ADA platform and I got a video of it taking the Restricting signal at DAVIS before pulling onto the Del-Mar-Va secondary. NS SD60M #6806 hung back coupled to a crude oil train in the yard.  I said this was going to be a bit random so here is an evening shot of MARC HHP-8 #4915 on track #5 at Baltimore's Penn Station.  Baltimore light rail train #5025 laying over at Hunt Valley.  Same train with one of the dwarf position lights used in non-signal territory.  Ran into a guy with an Ari 16 motion picture. Eat your heart out Phil Nasidowski :-)    He was also equipped with a vintage large format Crown Graphic still camera.  Back to Penn Station here is Amtrak AEM-7 #924 arriving with a southbound Regional 131. A few days later I encountered Northbound Regional 172 with new ASC-86 #600.  While Amtrak Crescent Train 19 pulled in with AEM-7 #914.  Well that about covers it. Tune in next time for what will probably be something with classic photos. |
