| Some really rare birds were being moved to LTE on the Indy Line today. A pair of ex-BNSF B40-8s that had been sitting in storage for several years down in Texas were finally sold off and heading to their final resting place in Lordstown, OH. CSX has recently been making several of these funeral moves on CSX M332, and todays including a H1 Dash 8, and a Bluebonnet Dash 8, 1 of 2 left in existence. I had the day off, so I knew I had to go down and see them before they were gone forever. I decided to go over to Ohio since I find the Indy Line more photogenic over there, especially since it still has Conrail and NYC era trilight signals still standing. As I came into Union City I could hear the Corman working on their frequency. I almost didnt go further east, but I am glad I did, as when I came into Ansonia I found them beginning to take off back south toward Greenville with around 30 cars. I quickly got out ahead of them and grabbed a shot just south of Ansonia after taking a slight turn directly south. |
