This late afternoon into evening Tuesday July 9th, 2019 saw 15+ trains. In that time, these 6 out of the 15 trains were absolutely fantastic.
CSX Q010 with Spirit of Ravenna #3440, Q389 with 6 ex. Amtrak now LTEX units, Q262 with SD50-3 & SD40-2, W052 Loram Rail Grinder, K160 lead by BNSF Tier 4 & Local Freight C729 with 2 Geeps + Road Slug. Note the 4441 is running Long Hood Forward.

Amtrak units probably headed to the scrappers .
Tom- coming down to visit tomorrow with (yet another) grandson!!
They didn't send any of the F40PH's to the "Cabbage Patch"?

Awesome Mike. See you tomorrow with another grand kid.
Tom, always great pictures. Interesting stuff!
Matt, i hate to ask but......what is the cabbage patch?
Man, I remember when those P40s were new, maybe 1992 or 93. They were the latest thing- monocoque construction, 800 more horsepower than an F40PH. Sounded good, GREAT horn, but should have had better front-end styling IMO. After 26? years on the road, it really makes me feel old to see them going to scrap!
Unlike the ubiquitous F40, I won't miss the P40's when they're gone. They're not locomotives... they're the box the engine came in...
