Eastern Railroad Discussion > Heads Up Toledo- Q506

Q506 went north about an hour ago (7 am-ish) out of Lima (likely at Deshler by now) with a rather eclectic lash up of CN and CSX power...here is the train at DT&I Jct, north of Lima, Ohio, on the Toledo Subdivision.

What does the power consist of?

Well, based on the image...

1 CN GE, 2 CN EMD's with a a CSX SD40-2 and leaser SD40-2 mixed in for good measure.

More specifically, CN2724 (which I believe has IC reporting marks), CN2179, HLCX8137, CN8961, CSXT8446, and HLCX 6328. The last two units were the first two on Q507 out of Toledo two nights ago. Immediately behind the power are 10 gons of panel switches. Q506 got stopped at North Haskins, apparently to wait for Q243 if not also for a parking spot closer to Stanley Yard; another inbound train was stopped at Tracy Road.

Thanks for the heads-up, CG, I got him at Tontogany just after 0900 before he went into the holding pattern.

Sorry for asking, but the image doesn't lend itself to knowing what the units are.

Thanks for the listing of locomotives Patch.

No problem on the question or the heads up...I did not get a hard look at all of the engine numbers as I was scrambling to get the shot without getting myself a mess for work (a coat and tie are not my normal rail fan outfit).
