Q433_Fort_Montgomery_Ny_11-2-08

As if there wasn’t ENOUGH color at Bear Mountain that weekend, southbound manifest Q433 added even more color to the scene, sporting a BNSF Heritage III ES40DC and a KCS SD70ACe in the new Southern Belle livery, as it headed south down the River Line at Fort Montgomery, NY on the second day of Novemeber. This was my first Belle catch, and with a pumpkin ahead and peak fall color behind, I’ll say my first Belle wasn’t too bad at ALL! Shot on CSX’s River Subdivision on 11/2/08 by Mike Antal.

CSX Q702 in Autumn Brilliance at Iona Island

On the morning of October 26th, 2008, railfans in the Hudson Valley were blessed with a cloudless sky, perfect fall foliage, beautiful scenery…and ONE train! CSX Q702 (…the trash train!) heads north over Iona Island and Fort Montgomery on its journey up the Hudson towards Selkirk. Shot on CSX’s River Subdivision at Bear Mountain, NY. Shot by Mike Antal.
