Q403 For 7/10/05

Just got this information on tonights Q403:

Motive power is as follows:

NYSW 3010, CSX 7820, HLCX 8149, NYSW 6366, SIXX 41, NYSW 3618, SIXX 47, REFX 78, NYSW 1800, and NYSW 1804.

The train has 64 loads and 43 empties for a total train weight of 9714 tons. Currently sitting at Binghamton. Not sure of departure time as of yet.

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads-up.

Wow!!

That's some lash-up. I suspect that some of the engines are going for the
ride, power balancing or shop attention somewhere.
When I was running for Conrail, there was a limit of 24 powered axles on
any train with only very few exceptions, don't know what is in effect with
today's operations.
Any engines over 24 powered axles would have to be isolated, in the
warm weather generally they would also be shut down.

Unfortunately I'm at work until 6am Monday morning. Then again I usually catch the eastbounds at the Pompton Lakes crossing on Wanaque Avenue on my way home from work. Of course I just remembered I don't have my camera bag in the car........

Just got a new vehicle and I'm not fully moved in yet!
