Nice lashup its nice to see DM&E and ICE. CN doesnt really run much of that they usually run IC GTW UP BNSF (rarely) KCS (also rarely) NS and ive seen CP a few times
we get a mix of everything running down our lines DM&E. I see on a daily basis, DME, CITX, CEFX, CP, ICE, SOO, old converted UP and BNSF engines some with the original color schemes but DME painted on the side... you never know what you're gunna see running down DME lines. It's pretty cool you're spotting them way out in NY on CP's lines. I'm assuming it must be the Deleware and Hudson lines where you saw them?
I heard a rumor a while back that DME was gonna start hauling coal out of wyoming. Was it too expensive to fix their garbage track? up and bnsf put a stop to that? Couldn't get the funding? just wondering if that was ever really seriously considered.
@bubbadrum1 Yes the DME was trying to get into the PRB. It wasn't just a rumor, but it was the real deal. The land owners in Wyoming and South Dakota, along with Mayo clinic in Rochester slowed the DME down. CP is still pursuing the PRB expansion, but at a much slower pace. There are many sections on the DME that are welded rail, although you can still find a lot of places with the old stick rail.
Thank you for pointing out the fact that People from other countries enjoy them, I never thought of that. I could understand how it would be different to someone from over sea's.
Just wondering, as a railroader I don't understand the attraction to filming just a normal train. I could under stand when it's a special move, like steam, extra large loads, you know something different. I'm not knocking you as I know it's your hobby and I refuse to make fun of you for it like alot of people I work with. But what is the thrill in seeing just a normal train?
I'm from Milwaukee and this train kinda is a special move. The rails are Canadian Pacific and SOO line's Chicago and Milwaukee Subdivision and seeing DM&E on this line is kind of rare.
@307OLDS I live here in Milwaukee too n i see DME,and ICE at the downtown CP railyard all the time. They mostly run at night but you can catch them in the daytime somewhat too.
@mhicaso Sometimes a train is just a regular train, but sometimes it's good filming them for the simple fact that it's a train The Iron Beasts of the Land and @ any speed they can cause damage.
