Eastern Railroad Discussion > Onto The High Iron! MA&N Utica-Rome, NY

Exercising trackage rights over CSX from Utica-Rome, NY, a Mohawk, Adirondack & Northern freight, with 3 bulkhead flats & 15 tankers containing olive oil, heads out of the railroad's Utica yard onto the CSX main on Feb 22, 2016.

MA&N 2042 (ex-BCOL & still in that road's colors) is at the point. The freight will travel approx 10 miles westward on CSX before reaching home rails in Rome, just west of CP 248.

Some refer to 2042 as the "Atomic Engine."

Great to see old BCR equipment alive, working, and (seems to be) well maintained too. Miss that horn around here... Thank you!

And the amazing thing is the second unit is also BC Rail in its previous two tone green paint scheme . . . .  thought I would never see two different BCR paint schemes on the head end again thousands of miles away from BC's 'home grown' railway 13 years after CN took over the line   . . . just a GREAT catch!
