Saw NS Indiana Railroad SD9043MAC #7337 - 4/2/17 In Rootstown Along With Chessie Boxcar & Other Fallen Flag Railroads

WOW What gives with all this "New Power" being rebuilt so quickly?

NS bought the IN Railroad SD9043's?

Poor old Chessie box car........

First off. Thanks Mike for liking my topic.

PRRHORSESHOECURVE: Yes, I agree with you there. During the month of March I noticed also a lot of EMD's. As for the rebuilds, there are a lot of AC44C6M's starting to rome. Plus the new SD70ACU's are out and about as well.

DOMINIC: Actaully I found out this morning by Train Orders, Indiana RR still has 10 operating. NS bought only 4.

DAVE: Yes, with though's 2 freshly repainted CSX boxcars in front of the Chessie High Cube I thought was a little tasteless. But in the railroading world, CSX or NS or others just grab a car or the car already in a set of cars and just take it. But one thing, I wish they would repaint that boxcar back in Chessie. But at least you can still see it.

Dominic, hope this helps. I got a response on Train Orders.

"In April 2016, NS acquired 10 SD90MAC's from CIT Group in trade for 15 NS MP15DC switchers. Of the 10 units, four were units that had come off lease from INRD.  The roster info for the 10 units NS acquired:

Nice pics, thanks for posting. Glad to see NS is still running my old favorites, the ex-Conrail C40-8Ws with the modified radiators.

Paul, glad you enjoyed the photos. Once I have all the other videos done, I'll post them to this topic. Anyway, you are right about the Dash 8's. With the modified Radiators makes the engine look more muscle.

The Conrail car having NYC on it didn't mean it was from the Central did it? I saw a flatcar on a conrail local with NYC on it. I think it designates if the car went to CSX or NS after the Conrail split.

Joe, to tell you I believe it's still New York Central. Maybe it is what you mention, but that's what I always thought it was. Actually I'll ask that on train orders this evening along with watching the Cleveland Indians.

Also here are the 3 other videos from yesterday.

Well I got some answers on Train Orders regarding the NYC reporting marks - http://www.trainorders.com/dis...n/read.php?2,4263539

Oh alright. Yeah cause the local freight that I see coming on Conrail's Sayreville Secondary always has a flatcar with the NYC lettering. The car is used as a shoving platform in this case.
