Saw this CSX eastbound freight train in Mentor Ohio this evening and boy, what an unexpected catch with this one. You think that transformer can run your layout, lol?

And all those crates are all the wire and track, ha ha.

Curious to know how fast the train was going as usually those loads have a reduced speed.

Conway scenic moves a transformer through Crawford Notch. One crazy train in NH.

Gary, great videos.

Must have been a tense time for the crew going downgrade from the Notch. It's a substantial grade down. I'll have to search for videos of it over Frankenstein and Willey Brook trestles.
