CSX Q701, CSXT 8857, Peekskill, New York
Freight At The Water Level. CSX Q701-11 was a late mover down the Hudson Line on July 12, 2021, passing through Peekskill, New York on the Hudson River during the hottest and haziest part of the afternoon. CSXT 8857 (née-CR 6500, SD40-2, 8/1979) leads CSXT 482 (AC44CW) with a large cut of empty cars up front that will be filled the most common rail export from NYC, solid waste. The two unusual events of an EMD leader and daylight this far up the line were enough to bring a number of people out to see this train.
