On The Troy Branch
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 south down the Troy Industrial Track at about MP 4.3. They are parallelling the Hudson River and River Road and are passing beneath one of the four trusses of the Troy-Menabds Bridge which dates from 1933. The train is headed toward Rensselaer where they will pause for a bit before getting permission from Amtrak's Hudson North dispatcher to head out onto the Hudson Line and cross the Livingston Avenue Bridge and make the climb up West Albany hill enroute back west to they're home bass in 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.
