Eastern Railroad Discussion > A great Saturday morning, Amtrak, NS, W&LE

Got up early and headed to Alliance, Ohio on Saturday 06-28-2025 to photograph a late Amtrak train #41, the southbound Floridian. It had the "Day One" painted Charger in the lead. Decided to hang around a bit, glad I did....next up was a 64K with one of the two blue mane GEs leading.

Next up was 91L, an empty ballast train with (a dirty) CNJ heritage leader. Not far behind that was a stacker with normal power. I then got word there was an extra Akron Barberton Cluster Kent stone train getting ready to depart Akron, Ohio for Kent. I high tailed it north and caught it just south of Kent with a couple minutes to spare. Neat consist with one of the two "Rio Grande" tunnel motors leading GP35 #200, the Ohio Bicentennial painted unit, followed by GP35 #101 in it's P&WV tribute lettering.

Very nice!

I followed the stone train up into Kent where I caught it pulling off the former NKP and onto former Erie tracks. The storms were rolling in after that, so called it a day. The ABC uses W&LE power for these stone moves.

Way to go Roger ! Another great day trackside.

Nice work, thanks for sharing. Might be the last time we see 301 for a while.
