by not doing something that be put off until later, like cutting grass. With bountiful sun and warm temperatures, this was a morning to definitely be trackside and that was what I did. The trains passing by my location were as follows;
NS 212 @ 7:26- Leader was NS 7546, HLCX 5980 (SD60; ex-UP, CRIX and CNW) and NS 8706.
NS 21M @ 8:01- NS 2642 and NS 9533 was in charge of 26 cars, estimated length around 6,500 feet.
NS 24V @ 9:40- a rather long train of COFCs. Motive power consisted of NS 2755 and NS 2747.
NS 213 @ 10:06-had the trio of NS 9498, NS 7537 and NS 2622 in charge of 28 cars measuring in at 6,800 feet.
CSX Q300 @ 10:20- would have CSX 8730 and CSX 7677 taking 64 cars of mixed freight east along CRSA's Lehigh Line.
Once CSX's 300 passed by, I packed up and headed home to mow that grass so it doesn't get too long!
