CSX's Greenwich Yard in Philadelphia

I had taken a drive out to Philadelphia to see the Circus Train while the circus was performing at the Spectrum on April 21, 2001.  While I was unsuccessful in finding the train in Greenwich Yard, were it was laying over, I did see some interesting movements within the yard.  I was impressed with the number of movements I saw in about thirty minutes on a Saturday morning.
 
 

CSX GP15-1 1544 leads some cars through the yard.
CSX GP38-2 2522 leads another unit through the yard.
CSX SD60I 8739 leads a Helm Leasing unit.
Helm Leasing Corp. 7188 is a former Burlington Northern SD40-2.
Here, the two units are backing up on another track.
Two CSX locomotives, GP38-2 2522 & SD50 8566 move cars through the yard as stack cars sit on the closest track.
Two GP38-2s, 2522 & 2689, move even more cars through the yard.  I believe that the 2689 needs a new paint job.
A NS GP15-1, number  1401 brings up the rear on a two locomotive light move.  This former Conrail locomotive has recently been painted.  
An ex-Conrail B23-7R, renumbered 4099 & lettered for NS leads a light move through the yard.
