    Focus on EMD Power in CSX Lashups

    When I first was rail fanning CSX I rarely saw EMD's anywhere other than in the yards switching. But then the sd70ac rebuilds started to show up and now what used to be rare is really common now. This is a typical sample :)

    Some Rail Fan Locations :)

    A couple of my favorites. Prolly should put up a video of the Mohawk Sub as well. This one is the "Best" Rochester Sub East of Rochester NY

    This one has a SUPER long Auto rack with a Lead & DPU AND A Lashup Of BNSF, Montana Rail Link & Amtrak

    Lot's of interesting stuff in this one. A REAL busy day on the CSX Main line. This is AFTER the Baltimore disaster and I have to wonder if re-routing and other issues are part of the reason for the increased traffic.

    CSX Mohawk Sub Trains At MP280, MP282 Cross walk in Minoa, and MP285 East Syracuse.

    Focused on a couple of manifests, first one with EMD power trailing. Unusual EMD's

    Norfolk Southern In Wabash Indiana ( Huntington District )

    Had to visit for family reasons, so why not "rail fan" a foreign territory ? Found two spots at either end of town. MP188 & MP191 "Higley" road crossing. ONE thing for sure, CSX doesn't have a monopoly on long trains :)

    A VERY Short Line?? All EMD Powered as well Ithaca Central Rail Road

    Kind of a simple task, haul loaded salt cars from Lancing to Sayre PA, haul empties back to the mine and repeat. Simple right?

    CSX Main Again 2-20-24. Real Sunny & Bright Day LOTS Of Variety

    Started & Ended at cp285 East Syracuse. Wandered to Minoa Cross Walk , Trapper 2 Pizza ;) & Kirkville MP280 as well. A real mix today, from a EMD SD70AC lead, to the typical mix of GE ES & ET44AH's, and some older ES40DC's mixed in.
