Union Pacific SD90MAC's on COLT, 02/24/00
I caught these beauties at the Maximo, Ohio hotbox detector (MP 89.4, Fort Wayne Line, Pittsburgh Division). They had just worked at Canton Yard at 1650 hours, and when they approached Maximo, where I was patiently waiting to get pictures, the train slowed down to a stop, 2 of the crew got off and the train pulled east, just enough to clear the road crossing. I talked to the crew and they said they were checking for a hand brake that might have been still on.

8058 again. The sun was pretty low, that's why the crummy reflection on the long hood
8058 with the sun behind me this time!

8058 and 8008
After they took care of the stuck brake, I offered them a ride up to the head end, which was at Beech St. I got some more good shots here:

Marion Tower governing the junction of CSX (former C&O), Norfolk-Southern (formerly PRR), and Conrail (former New York Central) mainlines (and also at one time, the Erie Railroad passed through). An eastbound Norfolk-Southern train is passing on the right, the tracks in the foreground are the former NYC (Big Four), the C&O is just to the left, out of the picture, and the Erie tracks are gone, but the former Erie yard just to the west is still in operation under Conrail.
