I got out to Acca Yard again! The first train in the distance was an SD70MAC pulling a big load of cars. I'm assuming that this was F723 or by a small chance, Q303. Just then, another train, Q438, came by unexpectedly. This had a big YN2 lashup following the leader, which I will say that it was nothing special. The Dash 8s on this train were 2 engines I really want to catch leading on CSX: A C40-8 and a 7800 series C40-8W. I'm very tired of catching these things trailing and I don't call them special unless they are leading. So yup, just the usual. Around 5:50, another train rolls into sight. It's a power move with AC6000CW #633, an AC4400CW, and an SD40-2. I caught 633 last September in Doswell, but I never noticed until now how it is different from all other AC6000CWs. The characteristic that makes it different is how it has blue YN2 letters instead of the usual yellow. I was worried that Q438's passing was going to block the SD70MAC leader, but luckily they stopped. Enjoy!
