TAXI driver....follow that train!

I dig this shot. Here comes the most unique engine on The CSX
East of Hudson roster. 8845, with its simple yellow painted nose that commands attention as a standout workhorse.

Brought down from Selkirk as Q701-02, this Y102-03 is in charge of a 21 car SPSX rail train, plus 2 spacers on each end, crossing The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in Jackson Heights, Queens on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 0936hrs.

What makes this shot unique besides 8845 hauling a rail train? The only daylight moves to Fresh Pond occur once a week, on Saturdays, making this Wednesday move a special bonus.
