Tuxedo Racetrack
Norfolk Southern Suffern based local H-08 is heading westbound through Tuxedo, NY along Route 17 with 5612 and 5614 leading 18 cars bound for interchange with the MNJ at Campbell Hall, and Middletown.
This train is carrying cars for Campbell Hall, which are normally carried on Local H8K, a nocturnal train. Normally this local to Middletown serves 5 customers, and operates push-pull with just a few cars, making this westbound scene a rare opportunity well captured with "a real freight"on Friday, June 21, 2013 at 1130am.
The traffic lights give access to Route 17A, which leads to Sterling Forest, where the New York Renaissance Faire is held every summer, and the Forest of Fear is held every October. Continuing on, it leads over Mt. Peter, (a popular winter destination), Greenwood Lake, and Warwick.
