Detoured CSX Train Q156 on NYS&W - September 3, 2012

In our final video this summer we set out to chase detoured CSX train Q156-02 (SU-100B) over the NYS&W. With the train departing Binghamton in the early morning a chase from Sparrow Bush to points East could be made. We begin this chase at the Mill Rift Bridge; one of my all time favorite shots. Then the train then had to wait on an Eastbound commuter train so we had the opportunity to film it in Port Jervis passing the old Erie station. After this the chase was on as the train would have a clear run to North Bergen on the NJT Mainline and the NYS&W Southern Division mainline. In one of our most involved chases ever we'll catch the train at 17 different spots, many first time shots, and a few oldie but goodies all the way down to North Bergen where it would be handed off to CSX. The decision to make an epic chase of this train was a no-brainer, out of the 3 CSX detours taking the NYS&W on September 3-4 this would be the only one to run in daylight on the Southern Tier/Southern Division. This chase was by far our most successful when speaking of quality shots and having a great time with friends.

Thanks man! I'm really happy another railfan said something, I would've too but I was standing 5 feet from the camera and didn't want to ruin the video haha.

Dude, epic video and chase! Next time a choo-choo comes down like that we have to chase!

[@CSXACe]

Thanks a lot my dude! The AC6000CW was such a treat; my favorite GE locomotive. Out of the 3 trains detoured trains this one had the best consist in my opinion, nice YN2 AC lashup!

[@CSXACe]

Thank you!

[@CSXACe]

Thank you, I couldn't believe he didn't stop... Ironically he stayed on the other side and watched the train after racing it to the crossing. The detours were due to bridge work on CSX's mainline, the 3 trains (Q004-01, Q156-02 and Q004-02) detoured we high priority intermodals that had to get to NJ and the quickest routing was over the NYS&W.

[@sk8artz]

Good Stuff! Lookout kid on the bike jeez!
Why were these trains detoured?

[@MassenaLineRailfan]

Great catch, and a YN2 AC6000CW to boot. I can't believe that kid on the bike could be that idiotic!
