Midweek Photos 2/28/2018

Tim, I never saw a B&O Wagon top caboose in real life, so these photos are very nice to have, especially being able to compare it with the other types. Thanks!

First time I’ve seen this guy.  Says ES44AC under the number.  Has a nice rumble to it.  A minute later he was headed south with a long string of mixed freight.  And then this other Citirail was tucked in the middle.

Nice photos! 

Actually, the plan is for 91507 to go back to the CNJ paint. The letters are magnetic, and the paint was to cover up some metal work it got. There are plans to eventually restore it, as time permits.

The B&O caboose usually also has these letters, however they were borrowed for this the weekend before your visit: 

This is former Sturm & Dillard #106. It is currently located in Circleville Ohio, and will be coming to the railroad sometime before this summer. The goal is to eventually restore it to operation.

A few random grabs from this past weekend...

Just curious if anyone knows anything about Citirail.  My guess is it’s from Canada like BC Rail.  You’ve got to hand to those Canucks, they sure know how to name a railroad.  I always am on the lookout for oddball engines on my local CN line.  My favorites are the red, white and blue BC Rail units.  First time I’ve seen these Citirail guys.  The CN line is partly a one track mainline and also a Metra commuter line.  It gets two tracks for a stretch right in town so it is common for a train to be parked waiting for the line to be clear.  The engines are often right in town, allowing for easy pickings.  Sunday is usually a busy freight day.  Maybe I’ll see another new guy tomorrow.  Cheers.

I thought it was Citibank!

Nope. Has anybody thought to to a Google search?  

Citirail is a locomotive leasing company, a.k.a Citicorp Railmark Inc.

Ok, I googled it.  Citicorp Railmark As was mentioned.  Pretty interesting.  They are based out of Chicago.  They have 125 ES44AC engines that they lease out. There was a CN unit on point on this train.   First time I’ve seen these Citirail guys.

Here's a pair of cityboys at Keyser WVa on CSX rails.
