CSX Train Q430-24, the extremely delayed northbound freight to Selkirk, heads back north lite engines at Beacon with 8854 in the lead and 2717 shoving from the rear (the conductor being in the 8854, the engineer being in the 2717), having just relayed at CP58 so it can head back to CP61 to tie onto the north end of the train, having set off the crippled trash car at the Price Brothers switch at CP61. The car in question, which was a trash car, had a busted drawbar, which in turn kicked up a ton of ballast, which in turn led to the train being delayed for hours while work crews worked to clean up the mess. After reaching CP61, it will tie onto its train and head to Poughkeepsie, where it will then tie on to an additional 22 cars, and then finally head out of town. There are 8 engines, and the engine consist is as follows from north to south: SD40-2's 8854, 8841, 8846, 8851, 8836, and 8850, as well as GP38-2's 2804 and 2717. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on March 24th, 2009.
