CSX Track Inspector S.J. Mosley stops to have a closer look at the diamond at 75th St. in Chicago, Illinois on CSX's former B&OCT Blue Island Subdivision. 75th St. was controlled by 75th St. Tower and is where the B&OCT and PRR crossed the Wabash and BRC. All of those lines are still active here except for PRR's former Panhandle, which is abandoned.

Coaling tower this time. Here si CSX train #335, a Walbridge to Grand Rapids evening/overnight turn, passing the coaling tower at the grass covered Toledo Terminal engine facility. I have the date on the slide as 8/13/1988 but see I previously posted one as 8/7/1988 which I now think is wrong. NR Tower might correct me since he was there too. The normal assignment for the F units at this time was the the roadrailer that ran out of Detroit but on days off they would sometimes be used on this out and back turn. We would use the 800 tracing number to know if they were in Walbridge or not. And on this day it worked out that they were.

A South bound CSX train led by an EMD SD70MAC loco heads out of Richmond's Acca Yard on the A line. The traffic on I-195 is as usual heavy.
CSX local F752 hauling coils from Nucor Steel crossing a wooded trestle at N. Charleston on its way to Bennett yard. The lead unit, CSXT 498 is on YN2 livery.
A Tier 4 ET44AH leads a string of CSX power, seen here stopped at the Junta Tower signal in Cartersville, GA. The power belongs to Etowah Subdivision freight train CSX Q539-10, and is in the process of backing up to Junta Yard on the W&A Subdivision side to drop off an engine before continuing its run south.
CSX M400 makes its way into Florence, SC on the final stretch of the crews overnight trip to Waycross, GA
NS E23 drifts downhill to the CSX yard in Lynchburg, where it will drop off its train for interchange and pick up outbound cars to return to NS. This interchange requires a trip down a windy, hilly connection from the higher-elevation Southern main to the CSX, which runs much closer to river level. Much of the connector is on a former section of the Southern's main. The Southern Railway logo on the bridge is a very nice touch and is in good condition after all these years.
CSX 2 takes P001 south at Achan in the Bone Valley on their way south toward Bradley Junction and later Hardee mine. After a brief stop and run around at Hardee, the train would turn back north and head to Tampa.
CSX S574-03 splits the former B&O CPL signals at the east end of Butlerville as the morning light cascades its golden glow upon the old Warbonnet paint
CSX empties roll south on the Logan Sub passing EE Ranger as they head to Peach Creek and eventually Powellton Mine.
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)
CSX loaded grain train G521 meanders down the Cartersville Sub nearing its destination of Rockmart, GA. This old SAL branch only sees a local and an occasional grain train.
CSX 3407 takes loaded coal train C760 south by the C&O signals standing guard at Dawkins. They would meet loaded train C309 here and the crews would exchange some chatter about the "paparazzi" taking photos of their trains.
CSX Waycross, GA - to - Fernandina Beach, FL local train A772 rolls east through Yulee, FL on 14 May 1994. The eclectic mix of former Chessie and Seaboard Coast Line power was common at this time but didn't last much longer after this shot was taken.
This former SAL line is now operated by the First Coast Railroad, a G&W clone.
CSX Q380 passes underneath the New York Central era signal bridge at CP 417 near Crittenden, NY with a former BN SD60M leader.
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 6828 in the stealth pant scheme leads the Eastbound Three Rivers Railway freight by the old P&LE station at West Pittsburg, PA on the evening of June 23, 1993. The train is on the ex P&LE main. I don't recall much about these TRR trains except that they always seemed to run after dark, except during the longest days of Summer.
A North bound CSX train heads out of Bennett Yard at Charleston, SC with the last daylight remaining.
7346 west helpers with CSX demonstrators on Montana Rail Link. Quite interesting all the matching foreign paint working this train.
The railroad was impressed enough with the SD70ACe's after their almost two week tour to place an order for 16 of them.
Real drawback was the exhaust of Mullen Tunnel exhibited on the third and fourth engines.
Think they went through a boxcar load of air filters and a lot of washing during the test.

CSX's classy office car train made a quick trip across the New Castle sub on 8/17/22. Here is it is in Akron at Miller Rd.
