A loaded norfolk southern grain with the usual suspects for power heads south passing an opposing CSX general merchandise freight on track 1.
An oddball duo of a CSX Tier 4 and an NS C40-9W pull what I believe was NS 177 on this date.
Just like old times (almost) as J784 shows up with an ex-Conrail GP38-2 leading 2 former B&O GP40-2s (both ex-4100 class). Thanks for sending something other than wide cabs for a change, CSX!
Y201 heads south on a hot July day with a pair of 38s and a pair of cars.

While shoving into Hill 6, the leading tank car drops off the track as the trailing truck somehow picks the point. This area was a constant head ache. I was employed with this RR when this image w... (more)
Having just been loaded with coal from AK Steel in North Excello-Middletown, Russel, KY bound CSX E411-08 crawls through Butler Street on a restricted signal.
I don't doubt that all 4 units were online as they rumbled through the Butler Street interlocking. This was 1 of 2 trains on that date that registered over 11,000 feet long!
Thinking there might be a problem, CSX crew stops to examine the switch points before proceeding south.

End of an era as the last of the Belt line is removed. The last customer having left in 2012, CSX had no use for what was left.
One of the last times I would be able to encounter a modern marvel of transportation was in the Summer of 2015, the unique triple crown roadrailer greeted me farewell with NS 9205 at the helm as i... (more)
Pausing along the river track in a dense fog after pulling the 2 mill in the morning.
Languishing in the woods waiting for CSX and a trip to Larry's 7 months after shut down.
"Park it." Done switching the yard, the crew brings the 6462 in for a break.
