Down South 7rh
Posting that recent hammerhead photo reminded me of this trip a couple years ago. Here is a proper back to back set with a train to boot! Despite being dressed in modern YN3b paint 468 is a (then) 19 year old AC4400CW built by GE in Aug. 2000.
They are rolling down two blocks of South 7th Street and just behind me they will cross Union Street at MP QCV 1 on the Claverack Industrial Track and curve to drop down the steep 3.22% grade to the yard beside Amtrak's Hudson Line main. This job solely exists to serve the ADM flour mill located in the former Lone Star Cement facility that is also the only reason this unique two mile stretch of the former Boston and Albany Railroad's Hudson and Chatham Branch survives.
