More SMS in Delanson


Train 939 with an Ex-Conrail on the point accelerates south on the controlled siding past SMS's NE-1 with Chris and Greg on board waiting patiently to head back to the park with two for McGrand on a very snowy February 17th. A Day that started at 0040 hrs to go plow snow only to end up on a somber note with the passing of my Grandmother. Her and my Grandfather always supported my passion for trains and were always there for me. Thanks Gram!

Jeremy keeps a close eye ahead as Chris throws a wave and pulls nine loaded autoracks off CP onto the Albany Main for the trip back to the park. Today's run marked the second time the #301 ran down the Albany Main and onto CP's trackage at Delanson since January. Usually found at the park #301 had to provide extra power for train NE-1. SMS's other EMD switcher that is usually found mu'd to the #1424 was taken out of service due to a bad air compressor at the time this picture was taken.
