I007-28, led by CSXT 1982 and CSXT 877, is slowly passing under the westbound absolute signal at CP-286 in East Syracuse, NY.

  Last week CSX's Seaboard System heritage unit, CSXT 1982, made an appearance in Syracuse. CSXT 1982, along with CSXT 877, led intermodal train I007-28. I007 is a daily train runs from North Bergen, NJ., to Rose Lake, IL., (just outside St. Louis, MO). Along the way I007 stops to work DeWitt Yard in East Syracuse, NY. The train also stops to work at Avon, IN. 

CSXT 1982 and CSXT 877 stopped at CP-286 of the Syracuse Terminal Subdivision, while waiting to shove I007 east into DeWitt Yard.

  CSXT 1982 was the third heritage unit to be painted at CSX's Waycross, GA., paint shop. The number 1982 signifies the year that the Seaboard System came to be, from a merger of the Seaboard Coast Line and the Louisville and Nashville railroads. According to CSX's website, "the Seaboard System was the first step under the CSX Corporation holding company to combine all of the company's heritage railroads into one."

I007, led by CSXT 1982, is stopped now at CP-285 waiting to shove east further into DeWitt Yard
I007-28 is stopped at CP-285 waiting to continue shoving east onto the Departure Yard Lead at CSX's DeWitt Yard. 

  The Seaboard System Railroad operated as part of CSX Corporation from 1982 until 1986. In 1986 the railroad was renamed to CSX Transportation. In 1987 the Chessie System, CSX's other major railroad was merged into CSX to form one unified railroad. 

CSXT 1982 and CSXT 877 are shoving I007-28 east down the Departure Yard Lead at DeWitt Yard past I019-28.
I007 is shoving eastbound on the Departure Yard Lead, while I019-28 is stopped on Main 1. In between are the intermodal cars from I159-28, which are sitting on the controlled siding at DeWitt Yard in E. Syracuse, NY.

    Very nice images. Quite the contrast with the smoke filled skies in the other post. I really like these Heritage units.

      I didn't like them at first. I thought the modern CSX cab paint scheme was weird, but the design of these heritage units has really grown on me.

  CSXT 3206, and five GECX locomotives lead M368 east among the fall foliage at Canastota, NY.   Yesterday, while bike riding, I caught CSX's M368-29 at BeeBe Bridge Road at Canastota, NY. M368 had a group of five GECX locomotives (ex-BNSF) trailing behind CSXT 3206. M368 was photographed as it came around the curve to the west of BeeBe Bridge Road, where the tracks intersect with the old Erie Canal, which is out of sight to the right of the photograph. This location is milepost (MP) QC271 of CSX's Syracuse Terminal Subdivision . The five locomotives are GECX 4528, GECX 4827, GECX 4933, GECX 4851, GECX 4923. A going-away photograph of the five GECX locomotives on M368-29 at BeeBe Bridge Rd. Photograph taken on September 29, 2023.

A tour of Union Pacific's De Soto carshop

-

 Back in June of 2008, Union Pacific's (UP) Desoto carshop had an open house, so my dad and I headed down to DeSoto, Missouri, to take a tour of the facility. De Soto carshop The settlement of the De Soto area dates back to 1803, and the town of De Soto was later incorporated in 1869. The town's website says that the St. Louis & Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad (StLIM&S) came to the De Soto area in 1859 and built a depot for the town. However, Union Pacific's (UP) website states the railroad came to De Soto in 1857. Perhaps the two-year difference is due to when the railroad was first being built at De Soto and when it was completed. The first carshop was built by the StLIM&S Railway in 1865.  Later the StLIM&S was merged into the Missouri Pacific Railroad , which continued to expand and use the carshop.

SP 214 and SP 8706 - Southern Pacific - Chester Subdivision

SP 214 and SP 8706 - Cahokia, IL Southern Pacific 214 sits in the siding, as Southern Pacific 8706 leads a manifest freight south on the Union Pacific's Chester Subdivision. This photograph was taken at Airflite Road , near Parks Airport, now called Downtown St. Louis Airport. SP 8706 and its train have just come through Valley Junction, which is about 1.5 miles north of this location, and is heading toward Union Pacific's Dupo Yard , though, Dupo Yard was not the train's final destination. This shot was taken about a year or so after the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific merger, which occurred in 1996. Both locomotives were owned by Union Pacific, but they had not been patched. This meant that the locomotives retained their full Southern Pacific paint schemes, lettering, and numbering. A patched locomotive is one that will still retain the former railroads paint scheme, but the current owning railroad's reporting marks or name has been applied to the locomo...
