CSX Detour
In October 2007, CSX derailed train Q380 in spectacular fashion near Painesville, Ohio. The resulting track blockage prompted a number of detour trains over Norfolk Southern's route through Pennsylvania. On the afternoon of October 12, a combined Q109 and Q169 was sent west on the Lehigh Line with the NS symbol 083 and a matched pair of CSX engines. The defect detector at Richards delayed this train 5 miles to the east, but by the time they hit Bethlehem we got the chance to enjoy some nice evening light as the 083 passed the old steel mill with a massive train of trailers.
