Eastern Railroad Discussion > Cool Story - NS 23K lead by NS Illinois Terminal ACe #1072

Thanks to the help of a great source and freind, I was able to see NS westbound intermodal 23K. Short story, after I got up at 6AM. Checked my messages and behold a message about 23K in Buffalo BY that departed. So I decided to split the time to watch the North East PA railcam and at 7:54AM, he flys by the cam. So I figured, well I'll give up, I won't be able to see him as I had to start work at 10AM. Well at 9AM, I got to thinking, hey, it's only a 20 to 25 minute drive up route 528 to Madison Ohio. So I left at 9AM and got there trackside at 9:23AM. Got my camera ready and my scanner, etc. And 2 minutes after finally setting up my tripod and getting my camera ready, the light comes around the curve at MP 139 and at 9:33AM, he flys by at 50+MPH. And after that as I was packing up was a short CSX eastbound intermodal I watched. So I left at 9:38AM and got to work at exactly 10AM. So it all worked out perfectly. Time was on my side.

NOTE THE PINK HUB GROUP 53' CAUSE CONTAINER.

P.S. sometimes I wish it was like a lot where you get trackside and wait little time and the train you want to see, goes by.
