Eastbound CSX Freights I104 and M218 Pass Through Guilderland, NY on 07/28/2024
Date: Sunday July 28, 2024
Location: Guilderland, NY (off of Hurst Rd.)
Video Resolution: 4k, 30 FPS (iPhone 14 Pro Max)
[Train list at the bottom]
Our final stops of the day were in Guilderland, NY, first at the French's Hollow bridge (in Altamont village) and then on an abandoned road bridge off of Hurst Rd. I learned of both of those locations from others' posts on FB, so I tip my cap to those posters. We first waited about an hour at French's Hollow hoping to catch a train on the bridge high above us (see the photo at the end of my video), but it was a warm day and it was a bit oppressive on the old French's Hollow Rd. bridge, so we punted and headed to our final destination. That was a an abandoned road bridge where French's Mill Rd. meets Hurst Rd. We managed to catch a couple of eastbound CSX freights headed towards Selkirk. Thanks to a friend of my son, who happened to be in Amsterdam that day and told us about the trains headed our way; otherwise we might have left sooner. Then it was finally time to head back home; it had been a long day and it was 2.5 hours or so back home.
Enjoy!

      Interesting. I can't remember how we came to believe it was I010. I think I heard it on my scanner. But my son also had a friend over in Amsterdam, telling us what was headed our way, including train ID's, so we may have gotten it from him. But if you think it's unlikely to have been I010, I can't argue with you since I'm a Massachusetts guy. :-) That's only my third time railfanning in the Albany area. Always an enjoyable time though!

    That diamond in Walpole can be a wonderful place to be around that time on weekdays. I try to use that as one of my stops between destinations. The next time you're there let me know maybe we can get somebody up on the bridges of Main Street & Elm Street to catch footage from both sides of the bridge of the train traffic. If this month gives me the time on a Tuesday, I was looking to film the MBTA'S yard in Readville/Milton or the Walpole diamond as you did here.

      Thanks for the reply! I've caught L010 and L011 there individually, but I hadn't caught them on the same day like that. So it was cool how it all came together. And then it was fun to go to Readville as I hadn't been there in 2-3 years and hadn't caught a loaded L010 there before.

    From my observations, the CSX westbound job tends to start building its train at Nevins Yard after L010 departs back to Readville. Depending on the length of the job it takes a while to build its train at Nevins - your best bet is to just camp out at Framingham - either at the station (when a bunch of GE widecabs show up) or at Nevins (when it's building its train).

      I believe because there was no room in the yard for them. A westbound train (M439?) was working in the yard (which isn't very large) so I suspect this train had to wait for that other one to head west before entering the yard.

      Thanks, Seth! I was so excited to catch that train there, especially since it wasn't what I went to Worcester to see! It's officially the longest P&W train I've ever seen (and it's not close)!

    A lot of swell containers on that train Nice spot seen it before I've always liked it really noisy though with that curve makes those wheels really sing.

      No kidding! I've caught CSX M427 and that train there recently. The "screechiest" place I've ever been, including Horseshoe Curve!

    Great catch, Tony! Love seeing that GE on a flat car! Neat catch with the MoW truck, too! Hope you've had a great summer, my friend.

    Former Somerset Railroad (NY) rotary coal hopper, seemingly now in MoW service, at 8.03 is an interesting catch....

    Great camera angle for that meet! You even got a peek at the 39G DPU. Thanks for posting.

    You didn't have a "Berkshire Sub" lull in the action at the The Curve! In addition to NS and UP you also caught a third, 8501/7208 were BNSF. Glad you guys had a good day there.

    • @tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611
      @tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611 Рік тому

      Yeah I mistakenly carried "UP" forward from the prior train in my log. I've corrected to BNSF now. Also, we would have had somewhat of a lull if we had gone there that morning, but nothing on the order of the Berkshire Sub!

    That's a neat place Tony! Hoping to stay at the Tunnel Inn (alongside the bridge) next time I get down that way. Thanks for sharing, hope your trip was enjoyable.

      Our trip was fantastic! And yes, we saw the Tunnel Inn while we were in Gallitzin. We stayed at the Station Inn in Cresson, which was also awesome for trains. And we have the beginning of a plan to stay at the Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast in Marysville on a future PA railfan trip. We dropped by that area (Rockville Bridge) on our way home and there's heck of a lot of train action there too!

    Love it, Tony! What an incredible day of railfanning that looked like! I turned it on and just let the video play as I work... soaking in the sound and a bunch of the views as the trains rolled past. Thanks for sharing!

    Interesting to see the Delaware & Hudson covered hopper at 03:10 - That's lasted well !

    Ahh, Acela at 11:36 is NOT going north to Boston... and "chocolate" may refer to the fact that the old mill building shown in the background after 8:19 used to be a chocolate factory.

    • @tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611
      @tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611 Рік тому

      Yeah, thanks. I got all tied in a knot on documenting that Acela as two of them passed around the same time, one NB and one SB. But I only videoed one of them as the other one caught me off-guard. For some reason that station always messes me up when it comes to figuring out which way a train was going when I look back at a video!

    • @tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611
      @tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611 Рік тому

      Actually I remember now; I figured that out not long after I published the video. At that time, I corrected the direction in the train details in the Description but I didn't want to bother updating the direction in iMovie and publish again, especially since I believe YT does not allow republishing a video (& replacing the original); I would have had to delete the original and publish the new version separately.
