Ok you were right Charlie. It left Altoona this morning, sad to say I did miss it but I'm sure someone will catch it.

For you guys down around Conway, the CR Heritage unit went there yesterday to be put online. I don't know what way she will be going but hopefully someone can catch her.

There is a high chance the RBBX ( circus train ) will be coming through here on the Pittsburgh Division either tomorrow or early tuesday morning. They have a show in Ohio tuesday so it might be tomorrow. I will keep checking the yahoo group I am a member of to see if there are anymore updates about this.

Great catch Todd.

opps forgot to mention, Todd they loaded out of Portage twice so far this weekend. The coal piles are still big there, so they might load again this week a couple more times.

Caught the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Train today. Here are some of the railcars.

Here is some photos of the first coal train arriving at the Kiski Junction railroad. i got these yesterday around 1pm, as it passed the locomotive shed. it tied up overnight then went to be loaded this morning.

PS. nice pics Matt. first time i ever saw the circus train.

SD80MAC #7203 at Sonman, Portage Coal Cleaning Plant. As you can see SD80MAC #7202 still has yet to recieve the Horsehead logo.

The SD70ACe seems to be making its home here on the Pittsburgh Division. We are starting to see them more now.

SD70ACe #1010 ( this is the third picture I have of this unit )


SD70ACe #1032


Then the other day got a heads up about 11A. This train usually has different types of power on this 11A just happened to have SD60E #6907 as the lead unit

If you have noticed lately here on the Pittsburgh Division there has been all sorts of power. I have seen, SD60, SD60M, SD60I, SD60E, SD70, SD70M, SD70M-2, D8-40C, D8-40CW, ES-40DC SD40-2, GP38-2, D9-40CW, & SD40E. Of course the Dash 9 & 40E's are the regulars to this area but the rest you don't see to often.
