Eastern Railroad Discussion > Ready to Blast Off

Photo 1: Awaiting the curfew to lift on the Toledo Subdivision we find (from left to right), K420, Q042 and Q500 waiting at Lima, Ohio. All waiting to blast off.

Photo 2: Reason for the delay, rail replacement.

Photo 3: Q042 runs the bean fields on its final jog to North Baltimore.

Nice the three engines, I'm sure you would like to have had any of the engines from your
pervious post. I know I seem to always catch those dirty cowl engines.

The first photo is obviously photoshopped. Better luck winning the lottery then seeing 3 CSX units all with matching numberboards..

Nice shots.

Nice catch. Reminds me way back when the EL would line up like that in the Kent yard.

Nice shots. Too bad the engine in the middle in the first shot wasn't #7366.

Nice to see old conrail units still earning there keep!!

Very nice first shot. Is that Bible Road?

Yep. "Biblical" Road as they oft call it.

Just so you know, if you are down in the shrubbery off Bible Road at 3 AM the prison guards will want to know what the heck you are doing. You may find this totally unreasonable if you attended a local high school but let's be Fair, you are 100 yards from a prison and it makes perfect sense to basically anyone else in the universe.

Nice shots. #2 is even complete with a CPL in the background!..

I guess they added the double stacks to Q042 in Cinci. Hes run single stacks for 20+ years until they extended him to N. Baltimore.

Yes, exactly what they do, Q134 now terminates in Cincy...so that traffic is combined to what NB traffic Q042 has. The train keeps its Q042 symbol.

Well darn I had hoped there would be two NB intermodal trains on the Toledo Sub. So what is the southbound symbol? Keeping 133 or 041?

I got use to seeing Q134 around 6-630am everyday at wapak.

Q133 will be the southbound from North Baltimore.

Posted from iPhone

Q-042 is profiled into Lima about mid-day for now...not sure if that will change once the track work is done or not.

Indeed, we will not see two intermodal trains, at least yet...but more traffic is on the horizon...at least so its said.
