Hobo Railroad 1186 Inspection Run Chase - Plymouth to Lincoln, NH - 4/1/24

On the morning of April 1, 2024 I received word the Plymouth and Lincoln (Hobo and Winnipesaukee) would do a track inspection run to Plymouth from Lincoln. But what really made this run noteworthy was that Alco S3 1186 did the honors, a very elusive unit to be seen out on the line! We see it arriving in Plymouth, and then chase it the rest of the way back to Lincoln. Enjoy this rare chase! Oh y...

After an errand this past Sunday took me up north of Plymouth, I decided to stick around and get a few shots of the final Cafe Lafayette Dinner Train run of the 2023 season. I would have liked to have gotten more shots, but me mistiming the train’s southbound run combined with things to do back home squished my window of time. We start at Depot Road in Thornton, just north of the reverse point ...

    I do believe there was one paint scheme missing from this video but the paint scheme only lasted for a very brief few months back in 1986 as CSX’s very first paint scheme. I think the paint scheme was called “CSX-t” and was only applied to a very few select locomotives. One that I could find online was that of an EMD GP40-2 locomotive number 6382. It featured the gray paint on most of the sheet metal with the exception of the top of the cab and topside of the hood area of which was dark blue. The dark blue featured a stripe close to the bottom of the body of the locomotive. The fuel tank and other parts below the walkways were black from what I can tell. But what made it unique and rare I suppose would be that on the sides of the locomotive where “CSX” is shown, just after that it shows in smaller font the word “TRANSPORTATION” with blue stripes above and below the lettering. This was short lived and the “TRANSPORTATION” lettering was removed moving forward. That aside though, my favorite scheme was one that I grew with during the 90’s which was the “Bright Future” scheme. Loved the variety of colors going down the rails.
