CSX Q125 heads south on the W&A between Graysville and Ringgold, GA on September 2, 2005. This gateway to the Charles Davis ranch had rapidly deteriorated after this photo was taken, and was eventually dismantled.
CSX 9004 leads one of the intermodal trains West at Center Street in Versailles, PA on December 21, 2000. The CPL signals were still in use at that time.
The cloud deck in the background marred what had been a nice afternoon chase of rail train W019 in February 2025. It emerged from the clouds in Greenwich allowing one last end-of-the-day sunny shot.
CSX GP38-2 2756 sits silently in Gallatin, TN as an approaching CSX Q210 lights up the nose of the unit. To my knowledge, 2756 is the last GP38-2 in YN2 paint on the active roster.
The Chesapeake and Ohio James River Subdivision follows the favorable descending river grade of the James River east to Richmond. Some of the earth work required to build the railroad began as the tow path of the failed extension of the James River and Kanawha Canal. To avoid a horseshoe bend in the James near Lyle Virginia, a tunnel was excavated beginning in 1853 to cross the neck of the peninsula in the center of the horseshoe via aqueducts over the river on both ends. The original canal bore required enlargement for the railroad equipment of the period. C&O named the 189 foot bore “Little Tunnel”. Although the bore was enlarged again in 1933, neither linings or portals have been added to the limestone and quartz of Buttons Bluff.
Eastbound CSX utility coal train T318-05 from Newell, PA to Cross, SC glides over the James River framed in the rough rock of Little Tunnel.
An EMD Road Slug and GP40-2 power the local CSX manifest/freight train Southbound through a tunnel of trees on the old CSX Western & Atlantic (W&A) Subdivision at Cartersville, GA.
See the video I shot of this train here:

During the day spent in Deshler, Ohio, only few trains used the local diamond to enter in the Toledo sub. to reach Lima.
Here a long autorack train is slowly using the East-South connection running the old B&O signals pulled by a new Tier4 compliant GE ET44AH. (6/12/16)
CSX southbound manifest crossing the Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky on the former C&O bridge on September 11, 2022, with the Queen City's skyline for a backdrop.
A pair of CSX EMD engines (SD40-3, SD70MAC) pull a load of new crossties Southbound on the CSX Cartersville Subdivision just West of Cartersville, GA. The crew is dropping the ties along the line in preparation of upcoming track work.
Watch the video I filmed of this train here:
CSXT 4792 leads an eastbound ethanol train over the BNSF as it takes the UP out to Wisconsin. I've always liked the "powder" blue SD70MACs on CSX, glad I was able to get one before they go.
Two CSX locomotives are at their railyard in Cayce, South Carolina in 2014. Rhere is a egineer on board the 6114 and his conductor is on the ground out of sight making a couple.
The 1988 CSX Santa Train poses briefly atop Copper Creek Viaduct for the benefit of a small number of photographers. I was riding that year but got off at Fremont to join John Craft to get some shots along the line. I reboarded just ahead at Speers Ferry, which was still a stop then. The later version of the CSX paint scheme with the yellow nose probably looked better, but this one wasn't very bad. That dome car behind (former B&O "Moonlight Dome" is now in CSX's office car fleet).
Csx 1871 leads train Q007 west toward Highland IL. Not the best shot as the sun was at an odd angle. But either way ill take it.
The 2016 edition of the Clinchfield Santa Train makes its scheduled stop in Dante. CSX decided to put some commemorative lettering on the lead motor this year, the 74th running of the train.
Q383 with CSX 2114 in B&O blue and 4303 in Guilford gray pause in the New Castle yard at Mahoningtown, PA on September 23, 1992. The train will get recrewed and then work the yard before continuing West.
Just what a visitor from the east coast wants to see when they get to Keddie Wye...another visitor from the east coast. "Foreign" power in the form of a CSX CW40-8, leads a UP westbound across Keddie Wye on UP's Canyon Sub. The consist wasn't all that bad, with an SD60M and a rare, graffiti-covered GP40X trailing.
CSXT 7798 C40-8W
UP 6119 SD60M
UP 5505 GP40X
A CSX local works CSI Steel off of Rosewood Drive in Columbia, South Carolina with MP15AC 1159. It was built as Seaboard Coast Line 4099 in 1977, to Seaboard System, same number and then CSXT 1159. Sometime after this shot was made it was sold to GATX Rail Locomotive Group and became GMTX 340.
CSX 5494 kicks up the freshly fallen snow with a Westbound intermodal train at CP 367 in Rochester, NY on February 18, 2019.

CSX 6732, in SBD black, leads train L381 at the "new" New Castle Interlocking in Mahoningtown, PA on August 15, 1994.
CSX 3034 is the DPU on the rear of a Westbound freight that is shrouded in a cloud of snow as it passes under the R&S Belt Line bridge on the West side of Rochester, NY on February 29, 2020. I was able to take advantage of the extra day that happens once every 4 years by photographing a few trains before picking up our oldest daughter Bethany at the airport.
Stopping off on the way to the Bourbon Trail for a lengthy lunch at a sidewalk cafe in Lagrange, KY gave CSX enough time to run a couple of southbounds. It was a nice spring day and pretty easy to wait for a horn and pop up from the table to get in position.
CSX loaded coal train T342-08 approaches Charlotte N.C. with coal for Dominion Energy near Charleston, SC
Commissioned by the C&O Historical Society and painted in 1993 by Dwight Jones, this caboose scheme was painted to honor the 20th anniversary of the Chessie's safety caboose. One side is painted blue-green, the other is painted purple
Nowadays, the caboose has found itself in shoving platform service based out of Fostoria.
