First trip to Judd!
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 5:11 pm
I took my camera down to Judd St. to check out some action, it looked pretty dead but saw a couple of engines at least.
Immediately near the engine house I noticed BNSF (SD70ACe -#9396) and next to it was CSX #494. Also sitting idle was a yellow CSX #9119 (drone?). To the west end of the yard I saw a pair of CSX's (#2573 on one) headed to the far west end out of sight.
Does anyone have any info about these engines? Is CSX #9119 in fact a drone? How does foreign power like the BNSF get up into these parts? I thought the BNSF line stops in Chicago but I have seen quite a few pics of BNSF in Michigan. I'm assuming that CSX #2573 is just used for "yard jobs"?
I'm just getting familiar with the trains in the area and was curious.
Thanks in advance!
