Hitting the diamonds

Slamming across CSX's former C&O Pemberville Sub diamonds, and about to hit NS' former PRR Sandusky District diamonds, CSX train Q106 (East St. Louis, IL, Rose Lake Yard to Marion, OH stacks), aka "The Schneider Train" is near the end of his trip in Marion, Ohio. Q106 is traveling on CSX's former Big 4 (CCC&StL)/NYC/PC/CR Indianapolis Line, although this portion is now known as the Mt. Victory Sub. Erie's AC (Atlantic Crossing) Tower that once guarded and controlled all diamonds here now sits idly by in pristine condition, preserved for all to witness, although is now on the opposite side of the former Big 4 and Erie mains.

 

CSXT 4566, which was originally CSXT 766 is an SD70MAC and was built by EMD for CSX in March of 2000.
