The core of this is now about a story above the ground. Should start to see lots of vertical movement in the coming months.

Sorry that I can't snap a pic. When Drexel is back in person and I walk to a class in the Bulletin Building, I'll try and get one.

Keep up the great work!

Uhm... achtually... it's a Conrail train as Norfolk Southern does not have trackage rights over the CSX High Line

Of all of the non development related arguements on here, this is certainly the first train one, but that was definitely two black with white NS lettered engines, now maybe they're run by conrail, that I do not claim to know. I have only seen NS engines running that line. 😀

But what remains of Conrail is jointly owned by NS and CSX and the locos were divided between those two railroads.

Those are indeed two NS GP38s. However, the crew running it reports to Conrail, which exists now as a switcher railroad (Like Knight said). CSAO has jurisdiction over the properties that couldn't be sorted out during the CSX-NS split. They operate in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Detroit. The train seen here is the recently renamed WPSP-18, running from West Falls Yard on NS to CSX's Greenwich Yard in South Philadelphia via the High Line. Almost all NS traffic through Philadelphia uses the line on the east side of the river (in fact, the only NS trains going anywhere south of the wye in Fairmount Park are crude oil trains to Eastside Yard).

The bulk of CSX's east coast traffic (including all southbound intermodal trains bound for the Port of Philadelphia) use the High Line. As far as I am aware CSX owns it entirely. Next time you are walking by and see a train, try and see what engines are at the front. All but the CSAO trains will be CSX. I walk by daily to get to class and usually catch Q-301 on its way into Greenwich.

There is a single exception of course: NS H86, which runs daily along the NEC in the dead of morning and has no choice but to take the high line to Abram's Yard in KOP. NS pays CSX for the use of the High Line in this instance. My original post, while completely a joke, was inaccurate and I now feel shame for having realized it.
