Multiple trail fails, fresh YN3C leader on CSX mixed freight train in Homestead, PA
CSX manifest train M332 heads eastbound through Homestead, Pennsylvania crossing Amity Street, on its way to Cumberland, Maryland. Filmed on October 29, 2022 at 5:00 pm.
This train was both exciting and disappointing for two main reasons.The first being that CSX 397 was trailing 3/4. This locomotive is significant because it is the only CSX locomotive equipped with a P5 horn, and it is on my bucket list to see leading. Hopefully I get the chance to hear it’s horn in the future!
The second reason for a trail fail was the 4th and last locomotive: a BNSF GEVO. It would’ve been pretty cool to see foreign power lead on this train as well, although I personally believe that 397 beats it simply because of how beautiful its P5 horn is. At least this M332’s leader had a pleasant horn too. Nevertheless, foreign power on any train, regardless of position, is always exciting.
Locomotives: CSX 5425, a GE ES40DC (1st gen K5HL horn), CSX 7219, a GE CM44AC (ex- CSX 281), CSX 397, a GE AC44CW, and BNSF 6550, a GE ES44C4
Length of train: 106 cars
