After waiting for an hour for this to show up and with the sun going down fast, i was just about to call it and go home, But once Amtrak 56 went by (Running over an hour late) the signal went to Approach Limited, meaning the train i came for is hopefully almost here, i stuck it out and waited and i'm so glad i did, CSO-1 with the P&W SD70M-2 in the lead finally comes south through Newington, CT in the cool fall evening light. 11/8/17
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
