Nice shot of the L135 but those gas prices are painful to look at, aren't they ?! Incidentally, I hear from intermodal brass that they are quite pleased with the running times of Q135/Q136 over the C&O.

Last month, I had quite the adventure in greater Buffalo. I'll start by sharing the action at Buffalo Creek Junction. This westbound manifest freight was the first CSX train I saw that day. Photo taken by me Fri 3/23/2012 in Buffalo, NY.

The power for the eastbound intermodal has emerged from underneath the Tifft Street bridge. This is a great location to catch CSX, NS, Amtrak and a couple of shortlines. Photo taken by me Friday 3/23/2012 in Buffalo, NY.

During the Buffalo trip, I met up with a fellow fan and he suggest a new location (for me) that I instantly liked: Bayview Road. This i another great location see both CSX and NS action. That being said, CSX is defintely the busier of the two Class 1s. A westbound CSX intermodal with a CN widecab for leading power arrived shortly after we did. Photo taken by me Friday 3/23/2012 in Hamburg, NY.
