Don't Fear the Reefer!

Before anyone says it, I KNOW the title of the song is "Don't Fear the Reaper"...

More great footage from the CSX Chicago Line in Western, NY! This video kicks off with footage from August 31st of Q114 and Q090 (the REEFER train) inching through a speed restriction in Gates, NY, then we show a local in the town of Brighton, NY slowing to work Genesee Junction on the West Shore Subdivision, then the video ends with footage from today's trip (09/13/09) out to catch SD45-2 8954 and GP38-2 2558 on Q627, and ends with some shots of Q11412 at different locations as we head back home.

8954 is unique for being the last SD45-2 on CSX (you may remember it in a previous video of mine), while 2558, one of only four non-dynamic brake GP38-2s on CSX, is a locomotive I have on my HO layout, so I couldn't pass this pair up!

nice video of the Union Pacific Fruit Express their were originally three UP units on that thing but I read in the February issue of Trains Magazine that the other UP SD 70M was bad order with a bad traction motor. the unit was removed at CSX Barr C. Yard in Chicago. The unit was dead headed to Proviso Junction for repairs at the Proviso Yard Shop.

I kind of like the other UP SD70ACe's better because I like the winged emblem further up the front. The new ones make them look to much like UP Gevos.
