Q119 (1) |
Description: |
Running over an hour late, Q119 races west in Westfield with a GP40-2 leading three big GEs and an SD40-2. In just a few months, this shot would cease to exist as work begun to replace the bridge over which the train is traveling. |

Description: |
For most of the past three years, you could always count on Q425 to show up around lunchtime, breaking the midday lull. October 13, 2007 was no exception, with CSX 681 and 630 slugging it out as they lead Q425 past Ballou's at 11:24. |

The West Slope |
Description: |
The West Slope of Washington Hill, being much shorter and more isolated than the east slope, is often neglected in favor of the more diverse angles farther east. However its 1.5% grades still give eastbounds a run for their money, as a late-running Q140 is down on its knees at Old Dalton Road, QB 142.8. |

A Rare Find |
Description: |

Just after the sun ducked behind the clouds, Q421 charges through Huntington with CSX 5009, 662, and 8816 in charge. Minutes later, the cab signals on the lead unit would die, forcing it to wait at CP-123 for a clear block and ultimately combine its train with Q423 at Pittsfield. |
