TOM - Long day but worth the hours. Nice photos and lots of foreign power. Always appreciate your posts.

Jim, thank you. Yea, it was a long day in certain people's eyes, but for me of not seeing trains in 5 weeks, well, this was a relaxing day. I honestly did not care what train I was going to see. The CN, UP's & CP's were surprises for me accept Q166 & Q165. Those always have CP .But the CEFX Bluebird was a nice surprise.

Tom, Those photographs are great!  I'm glad you had a great day.  One question.  On train number 13, you say the second engine is YN2 AC4400CW.   I see it, but what company is YN2?

Thank you Mark. To help out, YN2 is not a company. YN2 stands for the Yellow Nose 2. The 2nd nose paint job for the CSX colors.

Tom, Thank you very much!!  I couldn't see CSX on the engine, but now I see part of an X on the rear.
