CSX's Greenwich Yard in Philadelphia

I had taken a drive out, yet again, to Philadelphia to see the Circus Train while the circus was preparing to leave Philly on April 30, 2001.  While I missed the train at Greenwich Yard, were it was laying over, by about 30 minutes, I decided to see what would be happening in the yard on a Monday morning.
 

CSX SD50 8646 leads some cars through the yard.
A Canadian Pacific GP38-2 sits quietly in the yard.  Canadian Pacific, via its acquisition of D&H, acquired trackage rights into Philadelphia.

Here, was my surprise find of the day.  A Soo Line SD60 and a Canadian Pacific SD40-2.
Several coil cars sit idle behind the Soo & CP locomotives.
Two SD50s, 8592 & 8507, move a mix of freight cars through the yard.  This part of the yard is the intermodal area.
Same train as above, but on the opposite side of it. 
Here is a shot of SD50 8507.
Finally, we are at Conrail's Ann Street facility.  Here, a string of ballast hoppers are being loaded for their next assignment.
