Eastern Railroad Discussion > CN #5319 Leading Q317-16 - Keyser, WV - 16 September 2017Date: 09/17/17 04:20 CN #5319 Leading Q317-16 - Keyser, WV - 16 September 2017 Author: DTWilson Had just walked in the house from spending the day at the Strasburg Rail Road with the 6 yr. old when we heard the scanner announced Q317 making a brake test on some power at Keyser.... Didn't give it much thought until we hear "CN 5319 west out of the west yard"....... so we grab camera bag and head over.... I will assume that Q317-16 arrived in Keyser with some issue with their original leader ( CSX #236 ) and since the CN #5319 was the only west facing power, swapped it into as their new leader. At Keyser, WV - 16 September 2017
1) Q317-16 sitting on track #1 at Keyser, WV 2) The CN #5319 as the new leader as the Conductor is at the rear arming the EOT. On track #2, the E643-14 runs around the Q317-16. The 130 empty hopper train with cross back over to track #1 here at Keyser. 3) Back together with their EOT armed and paperwork update, Q317-16 accelerates out of Keyser... The smoke is coming from the #236. ... More to Follow ...

2) I had caught the CN #5319 the day before ( Friday, 15 September 2017 ) going east on train Q316-13 at Bull Neck Curve, east of Keyser. Figured then I would never see the unit back on the Mountain Sub...... Boy was I wrong!
