It has been ten years since I first visited the CSX Mohawk Subdivision (since 2012) and this line has been my most frequently visited for a railfanning day trip even to this day. Thinking back, I was very glad to capture some awesome railfanning back in those years on video (lots of foreign power, SD40 leasers, the oil train craze, a few NS & UP heritage units visited the line, and so on).
Anyway, to this day, I still try to make it out to this line at least once a month for a nice day of railfanning. This video is a selection compilation from four day trips between March & July of 2022.
Video timestamps (note: not related to time the train's head end passed me):
