Yesterday late afternoon after 4:30PM, I was up in Mentor Ohio to go to some stores. I got word in the morning that CSX westbound freight Q363 was coming with a great MU Consist but wasn't up there to see trains. Anyway, after I got done at the stores, I drove Heisely Road north and saw the signals were red, so I continued north and got on Route 44 and headed south to head for home and looked at the signals for the westbounds and saw the signal was green. So I got off at Jackson and drove back to Heisely. Well I only waited 4 minutes and saw a light for a westbound and I was in shock that it was Q363. I had no clue and no idea this was going to be him. He passed at 7:15PM. So from Churchville NY at 12:45PM which is near Rochester, to get to Mentor Ohio took 6 hours 30 minutes. That's actually not bad timing. But I was in total surprise. I had no clue the only train I would see that evening outside of an intermodal on my way home which was average power would I see 363. Anyway, the consist consisted of GE General Electric CSX YN3 GEVO ES40DC ES44DC #5466, KCS Kansas City Southern - Southern Belle Paint Scheme GEVO ES44AC #4772 Trailing 2nd, EMD Electro Motive Division CSX YN3 Road Slug #2312 Trailing 3rd, CSX YN3 GEEP GP40-2 #6414 Trailing 4th, Freshly Repaint Repainted CSX YN3b How Tomorrow Moves Boxcar Logo MP15AC Switcher #1151 Trailing 5th, CSX YN3 Road Slug #2211 Trailing 6th & CSX YN3 GEEP GP40-2 #6454 Trailing 7th.
