Once again, while CSX may not have the greatest long-term saftey record...as of late, they have been throwing quite a bit of money at infastructure as well as locomotives and rolling stock.

[signalmaster509]

Thats what a Big Blue GE will sound like when the dynamic brakes are on.

[railmogul2]

[Buffalotrains93]

ye that was a sad day when conrail left buffalo :-( trains a little shaky at the beginning?

[railmogul2]

bouncy track, CSX sucks at maintaing things, I miss Conrail

[signalmaster509]

I hate to burst your bubble, but CSX just replaced the rail on track 3 at this location about 3 months ago.

[signalmaster509]

Track 2, however, could use new ties and ballast.

[signalmaster509]

The only reason the train had lateral motion when it was under the signal bridges, was because the train was going through the interlocking at CP 431.

[railmogul2]

were you there?

[Buffalotrains93]

no probably not. im not talking about this exact place. teh place were i sit has the crapy est track ever

[railmogul2]

lol my comment was directed at signalmaster, who was there, lol

[signalmaster509]

Maybe, maybe not. lol I am up there quite alot, and sometimes I sit at the east end of the platform as well. However, I know this just because I know the nature of the track and the location of crossovers in this area.

[railmogul2]

east end is nice becuase your farther away from people and noise and stuff and when the 48 pulls in the locomotives stop right there
