Starting Out Of Troy
Despite autumn being long in the tooth the foliage was still spectacular with the gold leaves and blue sky nicely complementing the train.
CSXT local L020 has 17 cars trailing two ACSES equipped ex Chessie GP40-2s as they cross Main Street at MP 4.8 and begin their trip south down the Troy Industrial Track to Rensselaer. They will pause there for a bit before getting permission from Amtrak Hudson North dispatcher to head out onto the Hudson Line and cross the Livingston Avenue Bridge and climb the West Albany hill grade on their trip back west to South Schenectady via the Amtrak main and CSXT's Carmen Branch. See my earlier posts for a long form caption with the history of this line.
