CSX in Southern Maine - Early March 2023 - Old Orchard Beach to Gray, ME (Feat. SD40E3 1712)

L053 3-1-2023
MEC 7609e
The first ever L053 is seen in Portland and Gray as it makes a trip to Danville Junction.
DO-1 3-7-2023
MEC 512e
DO-1 works on bypassing Rigby Yard, seen passing the end of a neighborhood street by the east end of the yard. They would back into the yard once they were east of CPF-199.
DO-1 3-10-2023
MEC 512e
DO-1 crosses over from track 2 to track 1 at Cooks. They would bypass Rigby and back in at the east end.
M427 3-10-2023
CSXT 1712w - CSXT 3015e - CSXT 826e
Quite a rare sight! Cruising west though OOB was CSXT 1712, one of only about a dozen SD40E3’s that CSX has. (See ‪@downeasterstudios‬ video for a wimpy tripod)
EDPO 3-10-2023
MEC 7561e - MEC 7541e - MEC 7605e - MEC 7545e
With Rigby Yard being too full, EDPO had held at Ocean Park for about four hours waiting on M427’s passing. Finally M427 had cleared, and EDPO was able to blast out of CPF-209.

Beautifully shot video of the train action from Maine... Cool stuff !!!

[@caronz32]

How do you track where the trains are?

[@MaineCentral321]

There is no way to track them closely, though you can by a scanner and set it to the correct railroad channels. There are also some Facebook groups that I find helpful.
