I went down to Cross Street in Bogota, NJ yesterday to check out the SU-99 line up around 3 PM and the train was already made up and ready to go. The power consisted of CEFX 3131, CEFX 3124, CEFX 3126, & NYS&W power. I cannot remember if the NYS&W loco # was 3014 or 3016. I recall it being a SD40T-2. If anyone else saw this train or someone video taped it please let me know if I have all the loco #'s correct and in the correct order.
I headed up to Hawthorne, NJ to await and catch the train near the station. After I finished looking for a good photo spot 2 grade crossings North of the station and returned to the station area I heard train horns blowing. It was not even 4:30 PM yet. The train came through that area a little after 4:30 PM pulling around 50 or 60 freight cars. I got a couple photos where I could. 4:30 PM is a bit early for the SU-99 to be up at Hawthorne already isn't it?
BTW what time do they start putting the SU-99 together down in that Bogota, NJ yard? I would like to catch them assembling that train down there one of these days.
