CSX Train Q430-24, the extremely delayed northbound freight, drags ass as it makes its way into Poughkeepsie.  While in Poughkeepsie, Q430 will pick up an additional 22 cars that it had to drop off on Track 5, and will add them to the train it is hauling now, which is 59 cars long.  South of here, at CP61, the crew had to set out a crippled trash car at the Price Brothers switch, due to a busted drawbar, which wreaked havoc on the tracks and caused all sorts of delays.  There are 8 engines, and the engine consist is as follows from north to south: SD40-2's 8854, 8841, 8846, 8851, 8836, and 8850, as well as GP38-2's 2804 and 2717.  Enjoy the pure power lashup, which roughly totals 22000 horsepower.  If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me.  Comments are welcome.  The video was taken on March 24th, 2009.
