Thanx, Charlie. I hadn't noticed the ex-CR units in the mix, but it feels utterly appropriate for them to lead on home rails.

Now, here the real show stopper! I have seen many things on CSX... but I had never seen 2 eastbound intermodal freights running side by side at Chili Junction. One of them went down the West Shore Bypass, while the other continued its eastward trek on the Chicago Line. All photos in this pos taken by me Saturday 6/9/2012 in Riga, NY.
