Mohawk Crossing
After missing this train earlier in the day by 20 min we drove all the way from Port Henry back here before we caught up with him...and when we finally did a cloud rolled in at the last moment flattening out the brilliant afternoon light. But I still like this shot and want to share it. We had expected this train to be running in a 1x1 DPU configuration and were surprised when it stepped out onto the bridge with a pair of GEs on the point.
This is a 650 loaded unit ethanol train headed for the unloading terminal at CP's ex D&H Kenwood Yard at the Port of Albany. Here they are on crossing the nearly 1100 ft long lattice Warren truss deck bridge over the Mohawk River just below Cohoes Falls from the town of Waterford into Cohoes. This is about MP 9.5 on CP's Colonie Sub, the one time Delaware and Hudson Saratoga Sub mainline.
