Sunday was a beautiful Spring day and being able to catch a train was even better. Here is 642 passing the tied down CP 608 sitting in the new waiting yard. The Colonie shops were here at one time... (more)

Amtrak 48 passes under the Bridge St. Bridge about to hit the Fort Plain MP 200.7 Defect Detector.

Early on a cold and windy March morning, an engineer closely looks at his mirror as he backs up the first two engines of the K409.

This photo is my first one on this site. On a great weekend railfanning using my new DSLR, CSXT Q377 passes through Fonda with nice UP's on the head followed by a CSX C40-8W and a CSX AC44CW. Than... (more)
