Eastern Railroad Discussion > So I'm on my way to work, minding my own business...Date: 02/24/14 07:48 So I'm on my way to work, minding my own business... Author: march_hare ...and there I am, walking over an overpass on my way to work, using my cell phone to schedule a dentist appointment, when I am so RUDELY interupted by this train, passing beneath.
downtown Albany, NY about two hours ago. Note only 8 cars on today's train down from Saratoga. Conventional (non-oil) traffic on this line continues to go down, down, down.

------------------------------------------------------- > nice photo ... is that an ex NYC railroad bridge > in the background Yes, in historic terms this is the former NYC passenger main passing over the Delaware and Hudson. The former NYC still hosts all Amtrak traffic that goes north or west beyond Albany, plus a weekday CSX local to Troy/Rensselaer. No mainline freight. In the golden era, this entire area was a maze of passenger, express, and LCL facilities. Albany Union Station is about a quarter mile away, perhaps 120 degrees left (counterclockwise) from the camera position. Date: 02/24/14 12:52 Re: So I'm on my way to work, minding my own business..
