K636 |
Description: |
Wow!!! Jack Jakeman and I were out railfanning in my neck of the woods today, and at a turning point in the afternoon we managed to catch this before we got too far away from the mainline. We were hoppin' happy as heck!!! |

K637 |
Description: |
It's hard to describe how many variables were in sync that allowed this catch to happen! 1. A network of friends 2. A light work day 3. The train made bad-time 4. Luck! Anyway, here's the K637 on CSX's Rochester-sub in Warners, NY at 16:50 this afternoon! The old "tombstone" at MP300 is in the mid-background to the right of the R.O.W. And........I must give a special thanks to Chris G. for this one! |

Q381 |
Description: |
Twelve minutes behind the K637 is this train, the Q381! I would not have been trackside today if it was'nt for cell phone technology! And thank goodness we got a break from the "jungle-heat" that has dominated for the past two days! |

"The Jordan local" |
Description: |
Last I knew this train is the B790, a local out of Lyons, NY that works the grain elevator in Jordan, NY. Operating long-nose forward as they're about to cross Bonta Bridge Rd. on way back to Lyons. |

K684 |
Description: |
At around 17:00 this evening I phoned an acquaintance of mine to let him know what was headed his way. In return he informed me of what was headed my way, and here it is! This is the K684-01 as it crosses over Skaneateles Creek, just a stone throw west of the Rt. 31 overpass. 20:00 hours. |

K634 |
Description: |
I would welcome rain at any time right now because we need it real bad, however, it was very nice to catch this one at 07:20 this morning! This is the K634 approaching the at grade crossing with Bennetts Corners road. Memphis just is'nt like it used to be since the signals at CP302 were razed. The train is eastbound on track 1 of CSX's Rochester-sub. |

G343 |
Description: |
While doing some "bookwork" at home late this afternoon, I decided to turn the scanner on. There is a work zone at CP301 today so trains are getting "stacked-up" on both sides of it. That gave me plenty of time to get out here for this one! At 17:13 here's westbound train G343 passing through Jordan on track 2 of CSX's Rochester-sub. I like how the lead unit still says Santa Fe on it! |

K533? |
Description: |
Judging by the looks of these covered hoppers, I'll bet that this is CSX train K533, a bauxite ore train bound for Massena, NY. The train was most likely waiting for a re-crew here at 13:30 in the afternoon. |

Q382 |
Description: |
At 08:30 this morning the angle of the sun was just about perfect for catching eastbounds at this location. Here is the Q382 with a switcher in the lash-up, something that's kind of typical with the Q626.........so it was a nice surprise to see it in this train today! |

Empty crude oil train |
Description: |
First off I want to thank fellow contributor Chris G. for telling me about this one! According to what I heard on the scanner, this is CSX train K01103. Apparently these crude oil trains are new business for CSX and they are placing high priority on these movements. This train is near mile marker 304 on CSX's Rochester subdivision. |

K018 |
Description: |
These K0__ (zero) series trains have quickly become the latest obsession with railfans on CSX's New York-Chicago mainline! At 11:40 this morning we see K018 passing through East Syracuse, NY. Bristol-Myers and the OCWA (Onondaga County Water Authority) tower are in the background. And by the way..........this is not an ethanol trian; it's a loaded crude oil train. |
