Hard working SD40-2's, Unit trains, and others in Wild Summer Weather!

On August 6, 2011, I made another Saturday Woodbourne visit. Decent day overall, more good catches then trains, in other words, quality over quantity.

10:03 AM -
Q300-06 comes out of Woodbourne Yard with cars from Lansdale, with CSX CW40-8 7376 ex Conrail in YN2 leading and CSX CW40-9 9010 trailing. SEPTA 3425 makes a run westbound with Silverliner IV married pair 180 and 179. Q300 then starts their shove back towards their train. Of note, 7376 has a rather nice new cast K5LA.

SEPTA 4316 heads eastbound with Silverliner II 201 and Silverliner II 258.

Q300-06 chugs eastbound by Woodbourne after their work with the 7376 and 9010. As they rounded the curve, the signal at Wood dropped to a stop from the limited clear it was before. They were then talked by the signal by SEPTA 2.

Obviously this video proves I'm dyslexic/tired when editing haha, but that's what annotations are for! But anyway, here's Q190-06 headed east with CSX ES40DC 5419 and CSX ES40DC 5376 for power.

Over at West Lang on the Morrisville Line, we see 17G head west with NS SD70M 2644, recently acquired NS SD60 6537, and NS C40-9 8832 for power. The 6537 was purchased from HLCX, and was an ex UP and HLCX before it's days with HLCX.

The former Q174, now known as Q034-05, heads eastbound through Woodbourne with CSX AC60CW 623, CSX AC44CW 30, and CSX AC60CW 5012 for power. Not bad for anintermodal.

After bringing a brand new married pair of Silverliner V's in the east end of the yard, C964-09 runs out the east end of the yard, with CSX SD40-2 8826 making another appearance for my camera. C964-09 then runs long hood forward west back towards Philly.
