Southern Belle Sunday
Since CP became CPKC, the timing had never worked out for me to get a KCS-powered engine leading a CPKC train on the D&H. That changed this past Thursday, however, when a loaded grain train for the Port of Albany (symbolled Train 328) had a KCS leader. As a bonus, the train held for a surprise northbound empty ethanol train (Train 529) at Mechanicville, which also had a KCS leader! To go from having caught 0 KCS-powered trains on the D&H to 2 in such a short period of time was nice, to say the least.
Here, Train 328 crosses the Mohawk River south into Cohoes in nice, late afternoon light. From here, it was just a 10-minute drive home -- convenience at its best!
