@train451 Look again - the car right behind the loco is a depressed-center flatcar with a transformer. I should know - I was there as it whizzed past. The trailing cars are indeed trash containers.
@Superedit i sorry i did not see that pretty cool and i just saw some csx workers putting a turobine on depressed flat down by bulline power plant and sending it to a nuclear plant in virmont.you know your stuff man sorry about that before
Highland, NY, across the river from Poughkeepsie. The old NH railroad bridge is being turned into a walkway - which oughta offer some outstanding photo ops.
That will be great. Still amazes me that neither PC nor Conrail ever found a use for the old NHRR Maybrook Line and this beautiful bridge. Wonderful video. I love the River Line for its scenic beauty. Interesting that all lashups in the video were just 2 units. The new GEs can obviously handle doublestacks and autoracks on this flat route.
Awesome quality vid!! I think alot of these trains end up on the A-line that runs through north carolina I alwasy see lots of garbage trains and TOFC but never Auto Racks or double stack cuz the old ACL signal bridges wont clear them.
Man, this is just such a great video, period. end of story. Can't wait to get out to Highland Landing this Sunday, and this video just makes the wait hurt so much more!
Heaviest traffic (in my experience) is during the morning and evening hours; midday can be a total bust. Most of what you see here was shot between 6am and 11 am.
I'm told that the police have become quite vigilant in this area -- if you go, stay ON public property, OFF the tracks. (I crossed the tracks to the river shore to get some of these shots; I might not do that these days.) I also wear a bright yellow ski jacket -- highly visible and not exactly terrorist-wear.
isnt this bear montain?
