Back to NY&A.. :hehe:

Today was a lucky day, I over to my friend's house who lives just in front of the LIRR main, so when a freight passes by the whole house and whoever's inside go all over the place. I heard the unmistakable GP38-2 K5LA horn and the roar of the engine, and I ran to the backyard and grabbed this pic. When I got outside I was stunned to see NY&A 271 out switching right there as well, and got this picture.

Check it out....Its got "neons" on them 2 cars...lol...

Today I went down to the shore to do some railfanning. I found a bridge and set up my camera gear not to far from it. After a few minutes of waiting an Amtrak Regional flew by.

Not to long after that an Acela Express went over the bridge at full speed.

Then for maybe an hour and a half there were no trains. I couldn't figure out why until I saw a slow moving Providence & Worcester freight round the bend.

Right after that another regional with two aems rounded the bend.

Then right after that another regional rounded the bend. This one had two amfleets still in phase III colors.

Right before the regional went out of sight a Shore Line East train with all Metro North rolling stock came across the bridge.

Hey

Thanks BStyles. Considering I'm an hours drive from Amfanning, I've only been to Union station four times. When I came home from vacation, for a High speed and commuter rail demonstration, when I took the Tampa LRT, and transfered to another bus.

Now that is nice! Does the cab view on your Acela work?

Bstyles,

Yes, the cab works... If you give me your email I can send the config. The reason why you don't have it is due to the fact that the author didn't complete the config file properly.

The same location over a period of 60-some-odd years...

1943: An ACL E7 A-B-A set leads a train of Sherman Tanks towards Birmingham to be shipped to Europe. Note the 0-4-0 switcher on the turntable preparing to work the yard...

1967: In the wake of the SAL/ACL merger, a pair of former SAL geeps leading an ACL E7B bring the 10:00 general freight from Jacksonville across the junction en route to the newly formed SCL's 32nd Street Yard in Birmingham...

Date unknown, presumed to be ca. 1989-1991: A CSX Geep wearing the YN1 paint scheme leads an ex-Family Lines SD40-2 with a train of emptys towards Boyle's Yard in Birmingham where they will be serviced and sent out with a loaded train. It's unlikeley that the SD40-2 (or indeed the SW1500 on the turntable) will carry her former owner's paint for long...

2008: An SD70ACe wearing CSX's "Dark Future" scheme leads a tired old Dash-8 and SD on a general Freight en route to Birmingham from Jacksonville. Sadly, the roundhouse in the background is no longer in use. As you can see, the line hasn't changed much, but the trains travelling it sure have...

@Ferrous: Nice Pics(Reminds me of how bad CSX treats our crossings here in Clearwater, FL:hehe: )

@Everyone Else: Bob is Driving the late afternoon ACELA south to Washington D.C. Along the way, he encounters a Regional heading for New York City

Surprisingly,

The driver forgot to turn his headlights on.
