PASSING TRAINS PT43; KCT35 PT1

After the passing of OM518, train KCT35 can now proceed...

The crew in the yard watch, as ES44AC 1960; the Erie Lackawana heritage unit, rolls its train through the yard.

Another shot of 1960, with a pair of lease units behind her.

The lease units are Citirail ES44AC's, 1310 and 1321. Their road numbers match the year they were built; 2013. As such they are three years younger than the 2010-built 1960. While the CREX units are most commonly seen on the BNSF, the AP&W also leases a number of the units.

A going away shot shows the front-end striping on a blue nose. Citirail purchased more ES44AC's in 2014, as well as EMD SD70ACe's in 2012, all in this scheme.

The combined 13,200hp of the three engines are put to good use pulling lots of trailers, most of them on spine cars like this one.As usual, there will be more to come next week.

Until then, HAPPY EASTER!
