Eastbound CSX train R102 rolls through West Jacksonville, FL on 1 November 1994 with a special delivery for the space program.
On the head end of a long string of single-stacked well cars are 6 of the 24 specially-designed cars used to carry 150-ton segments of the reusable solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle. The boosters are accompanied by a coach carrying security personnel.
CSX will pass these cars to FEC at Bowden yard, who will transport them down to Titusville and hand them off to the NASA railroad at Jay-Jay Yard.
Note the nice SP GP60 leader and the crazy code-line to the left.
