CSX 983 (2)
Title:  CSX 983 (2)
Description:  Two of the newer GE ES44AC-H's shoving a coal train through the mountains between Casparis and Indian Creek. Why is it so dirty looking already you ask? Well you'd get dirty too if you got put on the back of these coal trains. Note the metal box on the ground. That is a grease box which puts grease on the train wheels for less friction on curves. Friction shortens the lifespan of both the wheels and the rails.

CREX 1308 and BNSF 9300
Title:  CREX 1308 and BNSF 9300
Description:  Empty westbound oil train crossing the triple arches of the Indian Creek Bridge. For this photo I stood back for a fuller view of the bridge which meant a reflection of the train got hidden by the grass bank. Cant win them all, in every photo.

Amtrak 11 and 61
Title:  Amtrak 11 and 61
Description:  Amtrak engines 11 and 61 heading over the historic B&O Indian Creek Bridge on a perfect August morning. I give all credit for this photo to Amtrak for being a few hours late and allowing for full sunlight here. Sometimes it is better to be late.

Title:  CSX 3054 and 260
Description:  Rear helpers on eastbound coal train N785 at Indian Creek. Note how badly the paint is coming off on the aluminum coal gondola. At least it won't rust!

CSX 3091 and 88
Title:  CSX 3091 and 88
Description:  A set of helpers are going back west over the stone arch bridge over Indian Creek and the Youghiogheny River. At a place like this, any train at all just adds to what is already a perfect setting.

CSX 335 and 850
Title:  CSX 335 and 850
Description:  Coal train N785 eastbound on the beautiful stone bridge at Indian Creek where it meets the Youghiogheny River. It was a typically slow day on CSX but at least the weather was an unseasonable 80 degrees and sunny.

CSX 293, 997, 478, 262
Title:  CSX 293, 997, 478, 262
Description:  A set of four helper locomotives passing west over the iconic stone bridge at the Youghiogheny River and Indian Creek. #293 was a recent repaint at the time. These helpers were based out of Connellsville Yard, but manned helper service has now been phased out on the Keystone Subdivision. CSX now runs mid-train Distributed Power Units or DPUs. Something that western railroads had already been doing for many decades.

CSX 258
Title:  CSX 258
Description:  On Easter Sunday, a rare high & wide movement of wind turbine parts is going east across the historic 1900s stone bridge at Indian Creek where it meets the Youghiogheny River. The train is going up a grade, but the single AC44CW had no trouble pulling it without any rear DPU. I got very lucky to get this as I had no idea this particular train was coming. I just heard a distant rumble in the gorge and knew I had to get ready.

CSX 3263, 5227, 7018
Title:  CSX 3263, 5227, 7018
Description:  An eastbound intermodal train crossing the old scenic stone bridge where Indian Creek meets the Youghiogheny River. The train did not have any mid-train or rear DPUs. In the ever changing world of CSX, they seem to be leaning back towards only using power on the head end. To get the proper angle for this photo, I had to walk about 30 feet out over the river onto a large fallen sycamore tree. All part of the risk / reward of doing photography! The foliage in the mountains is now at peak color. Heavy rains forcasted from a Noreaster the next three days will probably ruin the remaining leaves.

CSX 440, 5428
Title:  CSX 440, 5428
Description:  A westbound intermodal train passing over the scenic bridge where Indian Creek meets the Youghiogheny River. Nice to see a leader in YN2 / Bright Future paint which is becoming increasingly rare.
