I Saw a Movie Star In Person Yesterday | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Well, kind of. This was CSX westbound intermodal Q165. As I was watch the lead unit CP ES44AC #8796, I was taking the photos and then I happen to notice the trailing unit was #9758. So I knew right off that bat, is this something awesome. Yes it was. It's CP AC4400CW #9758, which 9758 was AWVR #767 in the Unstoppable movie. And yes, it still has that black & yellow chevron plow. So technically, I did see an ex. Movie Star, LOL.

Also as those 2 CP's passed, he met a CSX eastbound freight which the first 4 cars were Metro cars being taken to Ashtabula Ohio to be scrapped.

Tom...I really love your photography. Thanks for the pics.

The only thing I miss about living in Cleveland, OH are the trains and railfanning!
