Local to Russell

This morning the baby and I went to Goodman st. to see what was up. Not much was happening, one unit was switching the yard and two units were tied to some hoppers on 4 main. The baby got cranky after about a half hour so it was time to take her home and put her down for a nap. As she was waking up this afternoon I heard a train horn not to far from our home in Greece, so we went out to investigate! We checked the "Runner" from Barnard Crossing north til we got to Ling Rd. just outside the gates of Russell Station. As we crossed the tracks we spotted the headlights of the same 2 uniits we had seen earrlier in the yard. It's hard to believe we are so close to the city yet this area looks so rural! Check out the track in the last photo, it reminds me a little of the condition of the Hojak Line thru Sea Breeze and Charlotte when PC ran the show! This is no surprise as this is the last section of the old Hojak in use west of the river until you hit Lockport. I'm glad I got my shots now, rumor has it that Russell will be switching to natural gas power in the future...
