A switcher on the road

Description:  As this westbound train approached, I thought something looked odd with the third engine. As it moved closer and I could see that it was a switcher, I was hoppin' happy to have caught it!

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.

I don't mind seeing red
Title:  I don't mind seeing red
Description:  My 7:00PM plans for tonight were cancelled, so at 4:40 this afternoon I had a little time on my hands. I pulled off of Herman Rd. between CP300 and CP298 and ten minutes later this westbound freight came through! It seems that lately I have better luck catching foreign power when I don't have my scanner with me!
