CN 8827 EMD SD70M-2 - U703 - Saxonburg
With two EMD SD70M-2s up front, the southbound Bessemer and Lake Erie ore train leans into the curve as they pass over Golden City Road in Saxonburg. Hoping to shoot the ore at SX North, I left Pittsburgh around 7:15 and made the hour drive to Saxonburg. Unfortunately when I arrived at the spot to walk in, I was greeted by a very dense forest. Not wanting to start my time in Pittsburgh by getting a tick bite (and by being a little bitch) I decided to go just north to the Golden City Road underpass to get them leaning into the curve. My timing was great, as 10 minutes after I was in position I heard the roar of the EMD 710s pulling the train upgrade. After getting the shot, I made a bee line to the Allegheny River Bridge hoping to drone them there. However, I got stuck behind a few people doing the speedlimit and watched helplessly as they rolled over the bridge as I pulled into the spot.
