Wow, some of my hometown MBTA locomotives seen in that shot.

Probably returning from the rebuilders back to Cabot/BET in Boston North Station.

I think you're right about the rebuilder thing.

Those MBTA units were quite a lucky catch. Further reason to carry the camera at all times.
-Urban

i have witnessed such a tow multipul times, but never had a camera for it.

Thanks for all the info. I've seen almost all of the trains that run the Philly Sub for CSX. Everyone feel free to post any pictures you take or have of trains along that line. Please Post Pictures!!!

Does anyone know when these trains run through Baltimore usually?

Nick, that's a pretty broad question. Can you narrow it down somewhat?

I was in philly on the sunday before memorial day and I saw a trash train going by between 5:30 and 6:00pm I was coming back from the zoo we were on 76 going to jersey. I wish I could have pulled over and took some pictures. It was all leased power.

Here are some pics on the Northern Running Track in North Jersey.
The 3 locos are southbound running light into the 69th St. yard.
The TOFC and Autorack trains are heading northbound to the River
Line.

I saw a huge freight train at the Hammonds Ferry signal bridge last night. 4 engines stopped with no barriers between me and the units. If only it hadn't been midnight.
