Earlier in the day, I got word from a freind that CSX eastbound intermodal Q009 had NS SD70M-2 #2704 leading & NS C40-8W #8455 trailing 2nd. So I decided since I only worked at the Model Railroad Museum till 4PM and it's been 2 weeks since I last went out to see a train, that maybe I would see 009. Well I got trackside at 5:05PM in Mentor and behold what total luck timing as only 13 minutes later, here he comes.

So after 009 passed, I decided to stay trackside an extra 1 hour & 30 minutes till 6:50PM and in between time saw 4 other CSX trains.

Train 2: CSX westbound freight Q385 lead by CSX YN2 AC4400CW #209 & YN2 C40-8W #7661.

Train 3: Long CSX westbound intermodal Q017 lead by 4 CSX GE's - YN3b ET44AH #3370, YN3b ET44AH #3385, YN3b AC4400CW #529 & YN3 ES40DC #5323 pulling 151 platforms of containers, trailers & baretables.

Train 4: Short CSX westbound intermodal Q157 lead by YN3 AC4400CW #5113 & YN3 ES40DC #5226 pulling only 44 platforms of containers.

Train 5: CSX eastbound autorack Q234 lead by YN3 ES40DC #5317 & YN3b #7807.Bonus: Last photo was when I arrived track side and the sunset was on the cattails made it look cool.

Tom, the kindle has a mind of its own, that was supposed to be "hit the jackpot."
