That Alco RS-3 has been repowered with an EMD prime mover. You can tell by the sound. Also, the Alco 244 engine had only a single exhaust stack. That old 244 engine was not one of Alco’s better designs.

No coupler on the cab end?
@pittsburghrailfan Ай бұрын
Yep! I'm not sure anyone's ever heard why, but best guess is that it was either damaged or removed for space reasons; all the spurs at the facility, as you saw, are trailing, so they didn't need it.

Similar abbreviation, but no, the AWVR from unstoppable was fictional. There were a few scenes shot with Wheeling & Lake Erie locomotives, including some shot on the WE in West Virginia nearby, but not the AVR.

Ooh neat Iron Senergy repainted the Cumberland mine SD38s. Weird little disjointed rail operation, that one. Kind of surprised that mine is still running.
@pittsburghrailfan 2 ай бұрын
I don't think it was a full repaint, at least when I was there almost a year ago, they just put giant stickers on the side. You and me both, I know it's one of the bigger mines in the area, I'm still very curious why Iron Senergy bought the mine.

Business seems to be OK, but the 1202 was just on short-term lease while both Massey RS-3ms were down, and the 1823 was needed for propane season.

How come that signal is not vertical?
@pittsburghrailfan 4 ай бұрын
I think that’s done by the manufacturer to indicate that it’s a position indicator signal and not a block or absolute signal; it only shows the switch alignment, not whether another train is present. The branch is unsignaled and controlled via requesting track warrants from the dispatcher.

Ah! Millington! I was working as a contractor for Maryland SHA on the project to fix some of the drainage problem in that town. At the crossing you were standing at, catty-corner from you, is a rental property. Starting about 11:00 AM, the tenants stagger out, hang on the porch, drink, smoke and joke until after sundown. The Contractor was repairing the curb and sidewalk in front of the that building, they all just sat or leaned over the railing to watch. I also worked on a Sewage plant in Sudlersville, that you could see the tracks of that line from the job trailer. COVID ruined that sweet job I had, now every job since has been crappy temp position.

Do you know why AVR-3 is storing tanker cars in the Washington, PA siding I just saw a new batch today do you know why they are doing that during the late Winter or Spring
@pittsburghrailfan 2 ай бұрын
I'm assuming because it makes them money, and that's where they have space, there's not many other sidings on the railroad other than in Glenwood that they aren't using. At least back in January they were using the yard to store SPMX plastics hoppers.

Very cool & somewhat rear military catch. This was equipment from the 4th Battalion 3rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment (4-3 ADA) (Patriot Missile) @ Fort Sill, OK. They had completed a deployment in January of 2023 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom - Spartan Shield in the United Arab Emirates. My most likely guess is the equipment is heading to Letterkenny Army Depot in PA for heavy repair or upgrade.

Thank you! To answer the question before it was edited, they came down with three units (6002, 6003, 6004). There's a small grade between Bruceton and the Bruceton tunnel, but from there to Glenwood the line follows the river downhill. I didn't do a great job showing it, but they picked up a helper out of Glenwood to handle the Bakerstown grade.
