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)

Early edition of Through Truss Tuesday:

Ten thousand feet of auto racks for the Honda plant at Marysville, Ohio, cross the Olentangy River at Caledonia. At one time this was jointly operated double track of the New York Central and Erie-Lackawanna Railroads. In 1985, ConRail removed the second main track through here. This is part of CSX's main line between Cleveland-Indianapolis, and St Louis. A big thanks to Todd Novak for the help in finding this guy...

A year ago Y32210 traverses the stem of the Downtown Spur, former SAL main to their Miami station, back to reenter the South Florida Rail Corridor (CSX Miami Sub) to return to Hialeah Yard. 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.

A North bound CSX train heads out of Bennett Yard at Charleston, SC with the last daylight remaining.

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. Here's rerouted Memphis to Savannah intermodal I125 (I925 reroute symbol) cruising through north Georgia near Kingston. It sure felt like old times watching a never ending parade of trains.
