Photo #9
Title:  Photo #9
Description:  With car #5403 set out on the main, the crew still has more shuffling around to do before I have to leave. I would have loved to hang around and watch them finish the job and follow them back to Baldwinsville, NY. I've been trying for a long time to catch these guys here and document the operation, but until today I was unlucky. Birds Eye says that they're closing this facility within the next year or so, and I've also heard that as a result CSX might "cut the line back" to Baldwinsville.......Bummer!

Let it roll!
Title:  Let it roll!
Description:  Even though I thought I was lucky to catch this local here this evening, I did'nt think that the sun was working with me. I snapped off about 20 photos in 10 minutes here. The best part was when they cut a car loose from the string coupled to the power, and let it roll downgrade (northbound) and slam into the string of cars set-out on the mainline! Anyway, I posted two other photos in different albums if you're interested in some other angles. And, one more thing...the train is occupying the St. Lawrence sub...and the track to the left goes north up through Phoenix and onto the east side of Fulton and Oswego, and all the way to the Lake Ontario shoreline at the Port of Oswego!
