This morning I was up bright and early and saw BNSF,UP and CP engines 180 miles away from Chicago as they went by.(actually the UP engines were westbound.My question is with all this runthrough power how far west has a CSX or NS engine gone?Last weekend Canadien national let its WC and IC units run this way on the old NKP line in Latty Ohio.Yes mookie I got pictures.

Hi Joe, dont know about west, but we get CSX, NS and CN power here in Houston all the time.
Tried to get Kev to sell me the CN power, but he works for the other Canadian railroad.
Stay Frosty,

I have seen the inspection reports for our engines come back and L,A was on them so i figure they make it to california.
Yeah the other Canadian one…
ED i’ll sell you the CN locomotive, it’s not mine but i’ll sell it to you…
the fact that it’s not actually mine has never stopped me beofre from selling anything!!
I could never understand the concept of run through power. When a engine is on foreign track, say NS on BNSF, is BNSF paying NS to use that engine? If I were a Businessmen, I would be very leary of someone else using my capitol investment.

maybe this could be a photo contest itself.Foriegn power on the rails.Sounds like a good idea?

Tim, I think what most roads do is trade hours. You have three of my motors for, say, one hundred hours, and we are entitled to the same number of hours from your stuff. Sometimes a run-through agreement, where your power runs their road and their power runs the same route to you will result in them owing you hours. Because your power has the longer trip for them, they owe you so many hours to make all that even out. In other words, ain’t none of them doin it out of the goodness of their heart. [and why should they? it is a business, after all.]
Hey Joe
as soon as i get my scanner hooked up i will
which ones do you prefer running ones from UP or BNSF?[;)]

It dont matter they all operate the same. the up and bnsf engines are cleaner. some of the guys we have here on the ns are real pigs. and it seems like nobody cleans up after them sleves. my first 10 min on a engine is spent sweeping and cleaning the thing up so it is half decent to spend 12 hours on.
In Brockville Ontario I have seen on the CN lines
WC, IC, ONR, GO GT, DWP (all canadian anyway)
CR, NS, GCFX…there been others to
I have seen both CSX and NS units in Eugene, Oregon. (That’s western Oregon.)
On a webcam in Olympia Washington I have seen CSX units 2 times. I was surprised that an Eastern railroads power would end up in northern Washington State.
