WOW! 3 old EMD's lead CSX Q216 at Amsterdam, NY 1/16/10

I was really surprised when I heard "CSX Q216 engine 2778 clear CP177 over" on the scanner. I was shocked at the awesome consist:
CSX 2778-EMD GP38-2 ex Conrail
CSX 27-- - EMD GP38-2 ex Conrail
CSX 4401 EMD GP40-2 ex Conrail

As I am typing this from my hotel in Amsterdam, I can hear a horn in the distance.

and to think where you were standing it was once a four track speedway in the 1940's!

nice catch and great spot to railfan.

I gotta get down there sometime.

Thanks! You should go there sometime when you're going to/coming back from the train show.
