My first freight train of the day.A Union Pacific manifest rolls out of the Niles Canyon and past the Centerville Amtrak/ACE station in Fremont.Power for this train consists of a GM SD70M and a GE ES44AC.
Todays GSEHPG has a couple of visitors helping move the tonnage. You can tell the difference in prime movers between the AC4400CW and the ES44AC. A big difference if you as me.
Brand new CSX ES44AC 946 along with C40-8W 7316 (still in Conrail blue), SD40-2 8856 and LTEX SW1200 3501 (ex BNSF) lead a westbound freight train across South Creek road and over Ganargua Creek near Palmyra, NY on 10-11-08. South Creek Road crossing is located at MP Q346.25 on the CSX Chicago Main Line.

NS 738 heads south down the main headed for Georgia Power Plant Scherer. The train stopped at Pierce with an approach signal so I assumed he was waiting for a clear signal.
