K634
Title:  K634
Description:  I woke up at 04:00 this morning to get an early start on a full day of railfanning with fellow contributor Jack Jakeman in the Selkirk area. At 04:40 this train hit the defect detector in Memphis, NY. When I met-up with Jack in Amsterdam, I mentioned that it would be great to catch this one! So......just before 11:00 we got it! I should also say that it was very nice to meet fellow contributor Chris G here today! So.....by 11:00 it was a good day; but, we could'nt have known that in a few hours it was gonna get even better in Delanson.

Catfish?
Title:  Catfish?
Description:  We showed-up in Delanson at around 14:30 to find that this NS train had just set-out a string of autoracks for the SMS to pick-up! NS was out of here within 10 minutes and then we talked about the likelihood of seeing the SMS make the pick-up. I was skeptical. We hung around for about 45 minutes and were seriously thinking of leaving when...............

G&W 1001
Title:  G&W 1001
Description:  Tied down..........high on a hilltop. ///////// I learned today (4/17/2012) that a lot of these cars have recently been cleaned out. A mild winter resulted in a drop in demand for salt, so the car owners might be looking for opportunities to use the cars for something other than hauling salt.

Salty dog
Title:  Salty dog
Description:  I think this is train GW1 that is just getting into Retsof this afternoon. I'm also thinking that this string of cars are empty salt hoppers destined to be filled at American Rock Salt in Mt. Morris, NY. /////// Well, I learned today (4/17/2012) that I was wrong. The 51 cars on this train were brought into Retsof for cleaning, they did not go to Mt. Morris. And, on the return trip, 96 "clean" cars were hauled away.
