Eastern Railroad Discussion > Unexpected Friday Fun in Leetonia/Salem

Went to bed last night expecting a quiet, relaxing Friday (my typical day off). Woke up around 11 this morning to see that the heritage duo of the Reading & Central of Jersey had already loaded in Bailey and was on its way back through the region. Soooooo I got out of bed and headed out to Leetonia, OH for the chase - to chase it into Salem, a few miles down the Fort Wayne line. Saw an unexpected heritage unit sandwiched in the middle of a consist, and some foreign power! Here's a snapshot of today's action - well, at least a couple hours of it.

Enjoy!

1) 20T with the New York Central heritage unit sandwiched in between 2 other NS units.
2) 21Q which went around 746 at Lum, with new ACe #1101 leading a burnt Canadian Pacific unit.
3) 26T passing the Herzog work train on the siding in Leetonia. (SD80MAC is 3rd in consist)

4) My favorite shot of 746 - unfortunately with clouds. Taken from Route 344 in Leetonia.
5) After heading down 344 into Salem, managed to catch 746 again in Salem, OH.
6) Next shot, just a few seconds later.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
