CHQ Rails

Some fun in central Ohio on Saturday!

The crews named them Mary Kate and Ashley. The railfans called them the Red Dragons.

Of WNYP’s roster of ALCOs, 431 and 432 were my stand out favorites of the bunch. Especially when paired up, as both units have kept their patched Morristown & Erie appearance through their entire career on the WNYP.

While it is unfortunate to see the last two operable C430s on the WNYP leave, it’s good to know they’ll be joining sister unit 430 on home rails in upstate New York. Maybe they’ll be painted, we’ll see. But I look forward to shooting them in their new home soon.

Sunday we chased PO74 up to Pocono Summit, and had the bonus of a Steamtown qualifying move at Moscow. We stopped in Olean on the way home to get some shots of the power sitting outside.
