MKT 627 |
| Description: |
Mixed freight N106 westbound from the Mlcak Road overpass, just east of San Felipe, between the Brazos River and Sealy. This is a westbound manifest on the Katy's Houston Sub. While the this track still sees trains they are locals only, as it has been cut off from Houston at Katy. SD40-2 #627 was part of Katy's 4th order for this model and was delivered four years earlier, in August of 1980. |

IBRLCX 02 |
| Description: |
A rare extra makes its way down the Saugus Line, passing through the Golden Valley part of Santa Clarita. IBRLCX 02 has quite an insteresting lashup, a very luck GEVO up front, one of the late model SD70Ms with a nose a little like an SD70ACe in the middle and, yes, in 2011, an SD40-2. Had a storeowner come out to ask me what I was doing when I took this shot. Told him all about being a railfan. |

UP 4666 |
| Description: |
An eastbound rail train waits alongside Dewey Avenue, shortly after the dispatcher has announced, "That's enough eastbounds, we've been doing eastbounds all morning. Time for some westbounds." This train answered back that it was tying down, and I discovered that it was under the authority of a lady hogger. These units have quite a varied seniority. #4666 was delivered June 2001, #3731 in February 1980, and #2222 as #6067 in March 1988. |

Streeter meet |
| Description: |
Westbound stacks pass an eastbound rail train, while paralleling Dewey Avenue in the Riverside "Quiet Zone." No horns allowed. The area behind my back here is all residential, with tidy working class homes. The westbound stacker has just come off the BNSF San Bernardino Sub and is now on home rails on UP's Los Angeles Sub, about to pass "Streeter." It's lead unit is one of UP's older ES44ACs, #5520, which was delivered June 2005. SD40-2 #3731 is a tad older though, having been delivered February 1980. |

D&H "South Bronx Express" |
| Description: |
Delaware & Hudson 417, the South Bronx Express a Fresh Pond to Oak Point manifest rumbles through about 15 minutes after the sun vanished behind the Harmon shops. Three SD40-2s with specially modified pilots for the third rail and 44 MTYs make up tonight's train. They would get stabbed just a few miles further north at Peekskill. Thanks to alert of NH from the Hudson River Rail Lines YahooGroups for letting me know this train was on the way, or I'd have seen it through the windows of my commuter train back. |

Conrail southbound at Radburn |
| Description: |
CR freight on Bergen County Line passing the Radburn depot. I think it's a good guess that this is an NY74. #6374 was part of the CR's first batch of SD40-2s and is only a couple months old here. Radburn was a fun place to railfan, the first planned community in America, with a safe depot and enough trains to keep one busy. Note the old EL truck parked to the left. Today there is a canopy over the platform and no more through freight. |

CR 6480 |
| Description: |
An SD40-2 leads two U25Bs on an unidentified eastbound. Most trains chattered on the scanner through here and you knew exactly who they were. This one just silently appeared. The platform that is disappearing under the foliage to the right had been the outbound egress point for New York Central commuter trains, but hadn't seen passenger service in 22 years. CR 6480 was part of their third order for SD40-2s and arrived 11/78. Both U25Bs are ex New York Central, dating from 9/65 and 3/64. |
