CSX Q430-24 pulls 22 cars off of Track 5 in Poughkeepsie

CSX Q430-24, the extremely delayed northbound freight to Selkirk Yard, brings the 22 cars it had set out initially, out of Track 5, so it can bring it back down Track 3 and tie onto the rest of its train, which is already 59 cars long, and get out of town. South of here, at CP61, the crew had to set out a crippled trash car at the Price Brothers switch, due to a busted drawbar, which wreaked havoc on the tracks and caused all sorts of delays. There are 8 engines, and the engine consist is as follows from north to south: SD40-2's 8854, 8841, 8846, 8851, 8836, and 8850, as well as GP38-2's 2804 and 2717. Enjoy the pure power lashup, which roughly totals 22000 horsepower. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on March 24th, 2009.

That's a lot of engines. Nice train.

Be nice if the video was a little more stable though.
