Quality Detour - a photo on Flickriver

Quality Detour

            CSX M421 was one of at least two trains that detoured over the Port Reading Secondary on this blustery afternoon.  Apparently, a construction crew ruptured a gas line in Clark near the Lehigh Line which stopped all traffic.  M421 and NS 23G were sent the long way around to Bound Brook via Port Reading.  By the time M421 arrived here, the Lehigh Line was reopened to through traffic.  M421 had CSX's Conrail "heritage unit" leading.  You almost wouldn't know it, between the front third of the locomotive wearing CSX paint and the engine room doors flapping in the stiff late-winter breeze. The train is crossing Green Brook while nearing the Lehigh Line connection at CP Bound Brook.  I should also mention that as soon as the head end passed, the sun broke through the clouds for quite a while.  Open hood doors, a single lead unit (thanks to distributed power) and heavy clouds...just what I wanted!
