"Hey, what the....." That was my reaction this morning when I spotted this Amtrak engine sitting in the yard this morning. I thought, hmmm the local crews aren't going to like switching with that thing. It must have died near Rochester and was set out to be picked up and delivered to a maintenance base at a later date.
After shooting the Amtrak engine I was getting ready to leave when this peddler freight came under the Main St. bridge. This was a fairly short train maybe 30 or 40 cars. The 2 SD-40-2's would handle it with little trouble I'm sure.
