Remarks: A Dark-Future SD70MAC leads a TOFC nortbound along the Hudson River on CSX's aptly-name River Line. The backdrop of brilliant fall foliage was made even more vibrant by the early morning light.
Remarks: Staying just ahead of the shadow cast by a puffy cloud, a pair of BNSF C44-9Ws leads a CSX drag freight down the east slope of the famous Sand Patch grade.
Remarks: New 'Railfan' condos line the shore of the Susquehanna river, most with tremendous views of the massive ex-PRR bridge, and a constant parade of Amtrak and MARC passenger trains. Acela Express #2021 streaks northward towards New York.
