Rensselaer One Mile
Another from this ongoing series.
CSXT local L020 has 17 cars trailing two ACSES equipped ex Chessie GP40-2s as they pull up to MP QC1 on Troy Industrial Track after a four mile run down from their namesake city. In the foreground is a signature New York Central era concrete 'tombstone' style milepost marked R1.
They will pause here holding off crossing for a bit before awaiting permission from Amtrak's Hudson North dispatcher to head out onto the Hudson Line and cross the Livingston Avenue Bridge so they can make the climb up West Albany hill enroute back west to their home base in South Schenectady via the Amtrak main and CSXT's Carmen Branch. Refer to my earlier posts for a long form caption with the history of this line.
