ASRY 3215 |
| Description: |
A few years back the Ashland purchased two SD40-2 locomotives from Norfolk Southern to add to their fleet of geeps. Time and time again I kept hearing "3-step 3215" which happens to be the ex-NMRA unit from NS and I thought I was in good hands and that was the leader for the Willard train. Time kept passing and I began getting more and more antsy as I figured the train would have already left by this point. Sure enough, right before I decided to head to the other side of town, out popped AH1, the Ashland job, running with the ASRY 3215. Apparently this train has been going on duty much later than it did the year prior, as by this time last year it was almost back to Mansfield. While this wasnt the train I was looking for, it did make for a good subject by the CP WEST MANS position light along the NS Fort Wayne Line. |

The Ashland made relatively quick work of their time in the CSX Yard and came right back out with a healthy cut of cars for Mansfield. The train did the same maneuver they did entering the CSX yard, but now exiting and in reverse. I went up to the OH 99 overpass and grabbed a shot of it there. |

ASRY 3505 |
| Description: |
I was already pretty disgruntled that I had missed the chase north, but in the long run it would have been pretty backlit to begin with. I was hoping for a great southbound chase despite the NS unit being on the front. There was plenty of great color when I followed the tracks north. But, of course, the train stopped again and worked the siding just south of Willard. And they didnt just work. They worked for a loooong time. Over an hour actually. And during this time, because I was too afraid to leave, I missed four trains I could have easily caught on CSX, including I166 with 4 LTEX junkers and a KCS ACe on the rear. Finally. the train began to head south, but they were notified over the radio that they would be tying the train down 2 miles south of here on the north side of Plymouth. Just my luck. I grabbed one shot of the train at the US 224 crossing west of New Haven, and followed the train to Plymouth where I got to watch the crew get off and be deadheaded back to Mansfield. Driving this far for everything to go wrong is never a great feeling, but its the risk a railfan takes. |
