Eastern Railroad Discussion > When The Stars Align AgainDate: 09/21/18 14:02 When The Stars Align Again Author: Ohiorailfan Another one of those days today where it all worked out and couldn't ask for much more. It all started with me leaving my house around 1 am this morning and headed up to Garrett, Indiana to just relax and wait on the K182 with a pair of BCOL C40-8M's #4606 and #4604. The train left Garrett around 6am and would not hit daylight until Napanee. I then attempted to follow the train as far as my gas tank would allow. I ended up finishing the chase near Woodville, Indiana. I then went and got gas and recived a location update on the UP 1943. I headed back to the tracks and waited 5 minutes and the P900 with UP 1943 came around the corner at Woodville as a pocket of sunshine appeared. Quite a day!
Locations of K182 include: Napanee, east of Walkerton, Wellsboro, West Wellsboro, Suman, and Woodville    Date: 09/21/18 14:03 Re: When The Stars Align Again Author: Ohiorailfan .

Date: 09/22/18 08:29 Re: When The Stars Align Again Author: santafe199 Congrats on the IOTD! But I gotta say in my book it's the third, maybe only the fourth best image of this group. Number #1 gives it a serious run, but by far the last 2 shots of the UP 1943 are absolutely killer! That light... WOW! In my opinion you should earn one more IOTD out of this bunch...
Lance/199 Date: 09/22/18 18:51 Re: When The Stars Align Again Author: mttrainman1 Im pretty sure csx would not be collecting them for cn for retirement. I def can see them being good power to share with other railroads for horsepower hours. If they fail, they are not adversely affecting a cn train so it is a win-win for cn.

I've never seen them as tall as the locomotives. How long are they, and what't their capacity? Do they rock and roll with that kind of height?

Larry Date: 09/23/18 06:04 Re: When The Stars Align Again Author: Masterwelder I could look at the last one for 31 days and then some. Nice job.
