NS SD60M 6790 Leads NYS&W SU-99 - 9/23/11

A very rare occurrence as a Norfolk Southern SD60M was on the point of this SU-99. This engine probably came down on the detoured 13T or 30T and was sent back up to Bingo on this SU-99. Unfortunately the circumstances couldn't have been worse for filming. The train ran in pure darkness and it was pouring rain. I waited about 2 hours for the train at Frederick's only to have my camera go out of focus as the engine comes into view (didn't include that.) Then I went to Rich's to see if I could get a better shot, everything went wrong here from me dropping the camera lense cleaner into a puddle of water, large rain drops falling onto my camera, another railfan pulling right into my shot even though I tried to have him park in another spot, and the worker at the deli turning the light off. Anyway I hope you enjoy seeing this very rare catch, this video is NOT up to my standards, I only uploaded it for you guys to see the NS widecab leading the Susquehanna road freight. Power NS SD60M 6790, NYS&W SD40T-2 3014, CEFX SD40-2 3143, and CEFX SD40-2 3147.

@CSX453 Thanks man, if only this happened a month ago in daylight with no rain... Haha I'll take what I can get though!

SEXY!

@Railfan108 Haha yeah, it was pretty awesome.

You may not have gotten the best shot on these, but this still would've made my day with that decent power variety. Great catch!

[CSXACe]

@murjax Yeah, I was very happy to see this, I've never seen anything like this before.

So this railfan acknowledged your presence, then parked right in your shot anyway? Wow. Everyone that has ever arrived after me has worked to keep out of my LOS, and I always do that same if I'm the late guy. Can't imagine such rudeness.

[CSX453]

@CSXACe Ya I would do the same if it was raining and there was a Good catch coming my way I would go out in the rain to catch it. I did that once on one of my vids and np.

@KyleVideoDesigns Haha thanks my dude! I'm glad it wasn't too bad.
