NYSW 3014 at CP 293 of the Syracuse Terminal Subdivision

 

In this westward view, NYSW 3014 is eastbound, running light through CP-293 after dropping cars off at Belle Isle in Solvay, NY.

  After a bike ride on Tuesday at Onondaga Lake, I heard Z520-10 call the CSX NF dispatcher for permission to shove west across CP-293 from the Geddes Street Lead to the pocket track at Belle Isle to drop a block of interchange cars. I quickly headed over to CP-293 of the Syracuse Terminal Subdivision, which sits on the eastern edge of Belle Isle in Solvay, NY. There, and just in time, I caught NYSW 3014, running light, back through CP-293 after making the drop. Z520 is a New York, Susquehanna & Western Railway interchange job. CSX uses the Z designation for foreign railroad trains. NYSW 3014 is an EMD SD40T-2 "tunnel motor" that was built for the Southern Pacific in 1978. 45 years old and still going.

  1. Interesting how both your posts of Oct 12 look like model train sets when viewed on my tablet. Haven't looked at them on my desktop yet.
    Something about the drone shot angle maybe?

    1. They do have the look of a model railroad. The view from above does give a perspective one would get looking down at a train layout.

  2. Nice catch! I agree that drone shots lend themselves to looking like model railroad set ups.

    1. Thanks, Shelly. Perhaps, we are all living on a model railroad.
