Time for a little ruckus to come to the town of Valley Cottage, NY, CP 26, Saturday afternoon, CSX River Subdivision......

All is quiet for the time at CP 26 on the CSX River Subdivision, as "Red-over-Red" means a quiet railroad (albiet on the River Sub never always for long!!).......

Uh oh!!! CSX NI Dispatcher in Albany has lined us up something!!!! NORAC 281 aka "Clear" has gave us the Irish Eye!!! :-)

And without further ado, in a nice sound-off with the K5LAs, CSX Q417-30 comes thru (Selkirk Yard to Pavonia Yard, Camden NJ), in the lead, CW44AC #60, SD40-2 8410 and a rather short mixed manifest........

Aiming for the Irish Eye at CP 26.......

Thunderin' manifest scoots on by!!!

And now the quiet begins to return, as Q417-30 heads on her way, slamming across the crossover to the 4 mile siding (CP 26 to CP 22 in Blauvelt), and definitely holdin' down the Main!!

And now the quiet has returned.......albeit temporarily, 'till the next train comes along!!!

Nice pics. For lunch go down to Erie Street in Blauvelt for real BBQ and microbrews! Oh, Valley Cottage and Blauvelt are Hamlets. (sorry)

Light rail foamers will think you meant the Bordentown Secondary and the Camden & Amboy.

You can't ride the River Line, unless you're a CSX crew member, or feel like being a hobo.

That's the River LINE, not to be confused with the CSX River Line. Oops, I guess it was.

CSX Q417-30 comes thru (Selkirk Yard to Pavonia Yard, Camden NJ)

CSX 60 and 8410 stayed with Q417/Q418 and came back to Pavonia on Q417-1.

Sorry good buddy!!! This here was still in New York, and about 65 to 70 miles north of you!!!

Not THAT River LINE a stone's throw away from you!!! :-D (Had I been that close, I would have invited you to come join me!! Then again, I believe you are on-duty at the time I did this!!)

Wow, that's rare to see freight engines kept together like that. Maybe someone here can shed light on that. Only on Amtrak have I seen engine parings, that's with the AEM-7s that have been double mated.

NS sometimes uses the same engine pair for two round trips between Allentown, PA, and Camden with 38G and 39G.
In the case of Q417/Q418, Selkirk saw no reason to change power for the next departure of Q417.
