So much for trying to use my Blackberry to update my blog. For some reason, my Blackberry could not hold all of my posting I typed up on that little keyboard. Oh well. I will figure out a way to post from it soon.

On to the good stuff.

This past weekend, I was able to find CSX 9992 at Collinwood yard. 9992 is a ex Amtrak F40 locomotive number 390. Yep, one of my favortive models. I was just happy to get pictures of this unit.

Enjoy!

This is my first update from my Blackberry device. I wonder how this will turn out on my site. Its funny how technology will allow me to up date up website while sitting in on a very boring meeting. That is besides the the point. On to some train talk!

Well it's offical, the Ohio CentraL Railroad had sold its F9 units 6313 and 6307 to CP Rail. Also report, CP has purchased 9 passenger cars. Since the OC has not really ran passenger specials on an reocurring basic, these assets are just idle items in a world where your worth is figured by how much you make, not take away. Add in the cost to insure this equipment and folks who rides in them, you are looking at a big bill. I guess Jerry had his fun with his verison of running PRR passenger trains. Just as long as the OC keeps it steam engines, we are cool.
