Catfish leads NS Manifest- East Evans New York, 4.11.10

Great train and location, why'd they call it a Catfish?

[furryfurball1221]

@LocalRailfan It's the nickname for NS' Dash 9's. The stripes on the front of the loco look like their whiskers.

Nice Video! Looks like a good spot!

[furryfurball1221]

@coryrusch Yeah it's pretty cool. You have to get a little close to the siding though.

@furryfurball1221 This was an AWESOME place to watch trains when there was an actual crossing for both railroads at Depot St. Great doppler effects, especially on the westbound NS trains. Still a good place, but not the same.

@sasilv1129 yeah its a good spot, do you have any videos of it when there was actually a crossing?

[sasilv1129]

@furryfurball1221 I have photos and old audiotape from 1990-1994, when the crossing was closed, but unfortunately no video. I may try and put a photo montage with sound though. Lots of great stuff. Too bad my family was too poor to afford a camcorder then.

@sasilv1129 that would be cool.
