@tommyrail67 - yes there was. Someone, a farmer, was brush clearing at a farm crossing. He would duck down and hide in the brush when trains would approach on the nearest track.
@moon47mars Catch these trains before October. CSX and CP are entering a trackage rights agreement, and this traffic will be shifted to CP's D&H and these trains will no longer exist. Great video btw! Most of the locations that I catch these trains as CSX Q620/Q621 they run at 25mph, so it's great to see them run at mainline speed!
@x1sspic - Thanks Scott. The old Conrail runthroughs will be gone soon. Railfans from both sides of the border should get video and pictures of these trains. I wouldn't be a bit surprised that both railways will operate the trains with rare motive power in the weeks before the change.
Come on CSX! Do us railfans a favor! Run a set of untouched Conrail units for a week on this train. I'd treat the motive power assignment manager to lunch if he/she did this.
@ConrailSD70MAC - I think I own that CSX motive power assignment manager lunch after the video of July 22 2010. CSXT 7490 in CR paint leading a train into Canada.
@togreektown CSX and CN operate a joint train between Selkirk NY (Albany) an Montreal. CSX and/or CN units operate on this train. It was started by Conrail as SECN or CNSE. Now it's called CN 326/327 to Huntingdon PQ. From there it's CSX B798/B799/B787 to/from Massena. Q620/Q621 to Selkirk via Syracuse.
looks good powering round that bend,

@moon47mars - It's the joint CN-CSX operation. From the days of Conrail. CSX and CN units run together.
