K632
Title:  K632
Description:  Last week this train came through Syracuse late in the day on Saturday with a SOO engine in the lead, sorry to say that I missed it. I was happy to see it today with a red lease unit anyway! I have a going away shot of this lease unit in my "Roster shots 2012" album; it's in much better light. They're rolling under I-690 at around 14:30 hours here.

Q640
Title:  Q640

CP306
Title:  CP306
Description:  The only reason I posted this shot is because of the color of the trees. Everyone around here knows how odd the weather has been this spring, with temperatures in the 70's back in March and such. I'm just struck by the red colors of the budding maples along with the light-greens of the young leaves of the aspens and similar species. Have I been missing something in my 45 years, or is this display of color unusual for this time of year? Anyway, that's the Q004 led by CSX engine #7859 shot from Rt. 31 looking across the New York State Thruway.

Illinois Central in the lash-up
Title:  Illinois Central in the lash-up
Description:  While chasing the eastbound train K408 (led by CITX 2792), we came across this train with an IC unit in the lash-up! We were pretty happy to see that here! I've got a close-up view of the IC unit in my Roster Shots album. We caught the CN unit in a consist in Liverpool, NY last week. Considering the power line-up in this train, it's safe to say that they'll be heading for the "North Country" when traffic on the mainline clears up.

Title:  K252
Description:  I originally (but incorrectly) was expecting to see this train led by a CP unit, I misunderstood; but it was nice to see them anyway! So UP 6560 leads the K252 through Memphis at around 1810hrs. with 90 gondolas in tow.

Here's where the action is
Title:  Here's where the action is
Description:  A westbound mixed freight goes through on track 1 of the main; ahead of it on track 2 is a gondola with an "End of Train" device affixed; that's the end of the Y111-1. After the westbound freight clears on out of here, the Y111-1 will back-up on to the Geddes St. lead and deliver some cars to the NYS&W. Tied down on the track to the left is a slug-set (CSX 2359&6959); and on the siding tracks between the mainline and the NY state fairgrounds are a grain train led by CSX 7911, and a coal drag led by CSX 806!

Title:  Gettin' closer to the main

In other words, the track that leads away, and to the right, goes along the front entrance of the New York state fairgrounds and up into Baldwinsville and Fulton, where CSX services Budweiser and Bird's Eye frozen foods.
