FRESH OUTTA THE BARBER SHOP! CSX Pere Marquette HU leads M416-09 @ Gaithersburg

Never usually go out this late for railfanning, but last night it did! After hearing that CSX 1899 was making its way to Cumberland, I setted off at around 9pm for Gaithersburg. While I was on my way, I knew that M416-09 was gonna be a while because of the speed restriction at the Wye at Hyattsville. However, I didn't know how long that would be. As the clock was nearing 10:30pm, my scanner went off and immediately knew it would be M416. Shortly after, that train rounded the bend and came into view. Leading it was the Brand New HU the Pere Marquette. This was a very nice Heritage unit to see not only in person, but leading it too. This HU was also recently released and was "Fresh Outta the Barbershop". This train also happened to have a couple of new switches on board. After that, I packed up & headed home on what has been a night! M416-09 had 155 & 560 axles. Enjoy the video!
