I followed CSX's local from Parma yard down to Clark Ave yard and around Cleveland's Industrial Flats for a good bit of 2/1/2023. Clark Ave was the center of operation in Cleveland for the B&O but now a daily local comes down from Parma, switches customers and goes back. Today they used a mother-slug set because they had a bigger train going up the hill. It's often just one unit. After switching around in Clark Ave, they got the jackknife bridge over the Cuyahoga lowered and went to work Zaclon Chemical which is what they're doing in this view. Zaclon bought a Dupont plant that used to be in this location, Most of it has been torn down and remediated (good thing, it was decrepit). Not a large facility now but they do a good business with tank cars. Part of the Cleveland Cliffs Cleveland Works is in the background. Until today, I wasn't sure that CSX came over to service Zaclon; I thought it might be the Cleveland Work's railway (known as the CROW)

Currently I am modeling a GP38-3 in HO to possibly run on various layouts, but it can't be 2055 since 2055 has early model radiators. Very cool crew on board.

CSX 8249 leads what looks like train R-216 at CP32 in Beaver Falls, PA on January 30, 1993. The Winter of 92-93 was mostly brown stick season with very little snow until the big storm in March. CP32 was nothing more than a DED, and you had to walk or drive the 6 foot about a mile to get back to it.

Due to a barge hitting the bridge at Decatur, AL there were a ton of reroutes across the south with most of them utilizing the Chattanooga and W&A Subs between Nashville and Atlanta.
