Viewing Album:  Toledo Trip (9-1,5-10)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:9/5/2010 - 9/1/2010
Album Info:On the 31st I embarked on my trip to the CSX in Toledo. I arrived in Chicago late that night, and took off for Ohio after shooting Y128 with a nice set of EMD's in Blue Island. I arrived to Sunshine and Q637-01 with a nice EMD consist. I had great luck nearly everyday, and shot plenty of nice leaders. If you like new power, I wouldn't bother with this album. For those that enjoy what I enjoy, old-school Spartan power, I hope you enjoy this album. Alot of effort was expelled to pick out the best of the best, which meant me shooting less trains but shooting much better ones in the process. Thanks, and enjoy!

CSXT 8387
Title:  CSXT 8387
Description:  A great engine to leave the trip on. Depending on a few circumstances this could very well be my last trip to the CSX for quite some time, which means by the next time there probably wont be too many SD40-2's let alone YN1's...
