Coal to Russell

The summer is in full swing for Rochester Gas and Electric again. Coal is delivered to Russell Station by a local out of CSX's Rochester Yard. Here the train has just arrived at the "North Yard" in Greece and is about to get to work. The days of the Russel run are numbered as the plant is up for sale.

RP 20 BD Road HyBrid to test in Rochester

A HyBrid

locomotive from Railpower Inc. will be testing on the CSX based out of Rochester Yard. Once crews complete training the unit will be working the Rochester area. Right now it's sitting on the Road Railer lead in the yard. Look at all them exhaust stacks!!! It's an interesting unit to say the least. At least it's riding on EMD trucks. I can't wait to see it and hear it in service.

Are they SD-9's or 7's???

I'm not sure if they're 7's or 9's but these two units came in on a train last night. I would imagine they will be heading to Dansville for work soon enough. Hopefully later today I'll get some shots of the Ringling Bros. Circus train... one can only hope!
