    Good to see NS Heritage Locos ITC & Wabash at Elkhart, both leading. I thought that the Passenger meet at Chehalis (16:30) was a good one.
    Nice send-off for Conductor Dave with accompanying music. Here's to a happy retirement.

    2:03 CSX 911 trailing
    3:10 CP heritage on a BNSF train (another at 5:58)
    4:25 carnival ride being transported
    6:09 love those old twin-stack cars
    7:45 all Phase V Cascades train
    8:17 NS 1072 is the Illinois Terminal heritage SD70ACe, NS 6353 9s an SD40E rebuilt from an ex-Conrail SD50, and NS 5248 is a high hood gp38-2 originally built for the Southern
    9:28 two warbonnets switching in Burlington (seen in Ft Madison at 16:53)
    10:32 NS 8101 leading past the New York Central museum. I know someone would be upset that "the pigtail" is in New York Central territory. I'm also a bit disturbed that a BNSF dash 9 that was sold to KCS, was then sold to NS!
    11:07 BNSF 3-car inspection train
    11:53 NS 8098 leading
    12:08 one of the unloading bays on a hopper car is broken, releasing a cloud
    12:43 a burnt NS locomotive! I've seen quite a few burnt BNSF and UP units, but I don't recall seeing a burnt NS unit
    13:06 double heritage! NS 1072 and 1070 doubleheading!
    14:08 MTA geep 106 pulling a train of M8s
    14:45 they put the replacement panel upside-down! BNℲF 5429
    15:15 American View on the Capitol Limited
    15:42 two CSX units with an FRA inspection train
    16:07 two NS slugs trailing
    16:25 Cascades trains pass each other! One is a Talgo, the other a set of Horizons
    17:13 quite a few large transformers
    17:22 CSX 1776 leading through La Grange
    17:40 CSX 1836 leading
    18:16 CSX inspection train reversing. Listen to the unusual horn on the Franken-GEVO as it goes forward
    20:14 Wisconsin & southern unit leading a Grand Elk train
    20:58 Ontario Lines ALCO RS11! This was built as N&W 361 in 1957 and later became Ontario Midland 36. OMID had seven ALCO diesels and ran entirely in upstate New York's Monroe and Wayne counties
    21:10 Southern boxcars
    22:54 I'm disappointed the Save The Monarch boxcar has been graffitied. LRS 137999's unique livery was a GATX, CP, and KCS collaboration prior to the CPKC merger.
    23:36 UP 1983 leading
    24:50 the SacleTrains truck!
    24:58 Conductor Dave announces his retirement! Thanks for helping Amtrak trains run smoothly!

    Happy trails on this new segment of your journey, Dave--I can tell that you are a conductor with style! And the music for riding off into the night was just perfect. The Santa Fe engines in lightning and the Mountains of Hesperia (after that crazy storm) were both beautiful, and I always enjoy seeing the Wabash and First Responder engines--plus the Ontario, which was very cool! And there's something about a Loram in a storam (sorry, I'll show myself out). It's neat to see Chehalis again too; I've missed it. Altogether a wonderful Grab Bag--thanks guys!

    • @J3scribe
      @J3scribe 2 місяці тому

      They acquired the car in 2020, so it looks like they're in no hurry to paint it. It's a 10/6 sleeper likely used as crew quarters. It's possible that the car is on long term lease, which could explain why it is still in SP livery.
