The Great Birthday Chase! NYSW SY42 10/13/24
Well, that ain't something you see every day!
Years ago, I caught a certain flared carbody sitting outside Bingo out of service and vowed I'd catch it on the road one day. Fast forward to Sunday, I'm sitting at the CSX DeWitt yard, and I heard some chatter on the Susie Q channels while working on a radio project. After a quick recon over to the Geddes yard, our star was found burbling away and waiting for orders south...and the chase was on!

Ain't duck duck goose, it's Geep Geep MAC...sort of! A rebuilt SD70MAC leads two standard-cab GP40 variants and a GE DPU east towards Syracuse on this refreshing spring evening. I did not get a chance to get cab numbers, but I want to say this is a newer rebuild (4700-series cab). Pretty hefty manifest at 564 total axles!

Both the buyer and I agreed it wasn't worth it to them, so into the long-term project pile it went. So far, I haven't done a whole lot other than gut some Chineseum LEDs out of the front a...

      According to the wiring diagram, the white/yellow trace and white/green trace wires control the flashing TD and alleys. Your results may vary, just because as I've found with this one, not all functions can be present (ex. I don't have arrow functions on mine, others do).

      The pattern itself is Signal Alert 75, but it's not fully synchronized. Each pair of heads flash in their own phase offset (corners are 0, first inboards are delayed 10', second is 20', etc).

      Define programmed. The LC bars have a predetermined pattern list for both synchronized (full bar) and unsynchronized (individual lighthead pairs) operation. This specific one is the "default" pattern (Signal Alert 75) that most people leave alone unless they want a specific look. WeCan (WC) bars have a bit more play to them, since you can change the patterns, phasing, offset, and intensity all through a computer.

    • @ryanhealy3074
