CSX 2179 in Seaboard System colors with an unusual yellow nose leads Q136 thru the Westbound signals at SINNS in Liberty Boro, PA. A GP38-2 was an unusual leader for the Q136. The normal power was B36-8's and B40-8's at the time. For a short time in 1997 CSX tried trios of SD50's and SD40-2's on these trains. This train has a pair of B36-8's behind the lead unit followed by a SD50 and a SD40-2, which was an unusual combination too.
CSX M429-26 climbing Sand Patch at Fairhope with a duo of AC44CWs still wearing the YN2 paint scheme.
CSX 6236 comes back from Brockton light power to Middleboro. Freight here on the Middleboro line is usually nocturnal, but seeing this in daytime is certainly a treat, with the added bonus of the fall foliage nearing it's peak.
CSX 3297 leads train Q634 at CP359 in Perinton, NY on March 23, 2019. You get a pretty steady diet of GEVO's on the CSX main, but there are plenty of trains vs the two or three you might get with D9's on the Southern Tier in daylight.
April 16, 2018: CSX Manifest/Autorack Train Q211 (Louisville, KY-Columbia, SC) slowly powers up the grade approaching Emerson, GA on the CSX Western & Atlantic Subdivision, with a pair of Canadian National engines (ES44AC, ET44AC) providing the juice.
The other day, I was processing a shot I took of LLPX GP40 #3109 in 2007 nwhen I saw it was the former CSX #9711. That number seemed familiar, so I looked it up and found that I had shot it back in 1999. This was taken in Southern Pines, North Carolina as the train headed north.
The unit was built in 1971 for the Baltimore & Ohio as BO 4009. On the formation of CSX, she became CSXT 6584. In the 90s, CSX painted her in this orange scheme and made her a Maintenance of Way unit, CSXT #9711 before selling her to Locomotive Leasing Partners. In 2019, she still wears the same faded orange paint, but now carries GMTX reporting marks.
CSX 5949 passes the CPL signals and CASTLE Block signs in Mahoningtown, PA as it arrives at New Castle Yard with train R138 on August 15, 1994. The 5949 is an ex NYSW B40-8.
CSX 4525 (SD70AC) thunders by Woodville Lane west of Woodville, IN and past a couple of bad-ordered coal cars while leading ethanol train K603-25, destined for the CP at Bensenville.
CSX Local C770 rolls east through the Fox Chase neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia, during the peak of the dreaded "Bomb Cyclone". Bitter cold, check, 40-50 MPH winds, check, and lastly snow, check. What fool would be out in this taking a train picture?
CSX GP30m 4228 still in Chessie colors rests at the New Castle Yard in Mahoningtown, PA on January 17, 1994. Trudy and I liked to go up to New Castle on occasion and do a little night photography. On this night we set her camera up on the tripod and took a few photo's. Usually we would take turns with the tripod and end up with doubles of everything. I can't find an image that would have been taken with my camera, maybe it was too cold and we just took one photo with her camera. I was shooting Kodachrome and she was using Ektachrome at the time.
CSX A700 is at Cedartown, Georgia early on the morning of May 29, 2020 with CSXT GP38-2 2559, former Durham & Southern 2003 which was built in December 1972. 2559 still retains it's most notable as delivered appearance featuring the small 1,700 gallon fuel tank and non dynamic brake option, these two features make this small class of four units an oddity to the roster.
A pair of CSX locos, sporting a tier 4 in the lead, cross the 940 ft long Robert Street Lift Bridge in St. Paul, MN.
CSX Transportation GP40-2 no. 6201 is seen running light down the Bayonne Industrial Track, headed to service customers in Bayonne and Constable Hook. The line through here was once the 4-track mainline of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, which ran from Communipaw Terminal to Bayonne before crossing the Lower Bay Bridge to continue west through New Jersey. Nowadays the railroad only has one track through here, with the rest of the right-of-way occupied by tracks and stations of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail.
CSX 7032, still in Family Lines colors, leads a Westbound out of New Castle, PA on March 14, 1994. Work was just beginning to change the layout of the main tracks at New Castle yard. The searchlight signal guards the ex P&LE main, which would soon be torn up West of here.
CSX GP15T 1503 shoves a local into Barr Yard in Riverdale, IL. With a couple of these recently being retired, how long the remaining ones have is unknown.
CSX 6073 & 2693 lead train Q-383 through the long shadows in Wampum, PA on the evening of September 19, 1994. CSX was doing major track work on the ex P&LE as evidenced by the pile of ties.
One of the few remaining CSX EMD engines in the YN2 paint scheme (SD70MAC) lead an empty grain train through one of the many S curves on the old Western & Atlantic Subdivision, seen here traveling Northbound at Emerson, GA on 3/9/2017.

CSX Q211-07 cruises into Columbia with a freshly painted C40-8W. This scene has changed drastically as student housing for the University of South Carolina is popping up all around Columbia.
A trio of Norfolk Southern GE engines (ET44AC, D9-40CW, D9-44CW) bring a string of empty gypsum hopper cars Northbound over the old CSX W&A Subdivision, seen here at Kingston, GA. The train is coming from GA Power's Plant Bowen in Stilesboro.

CSX 410 and a couple of EMD's lead a Westbound freight off of the West Shore at Chili Jct. in Riga, NY on March 17, 2018. I don't usually go to the CSX main, but it was such a nice clear day we decided to go someplace where they run more trains than the NS Southern Tier.
This is me, so when I arrived at SEPTA's Croydon Station, what's the first thing I see along Amtrak's busy Northeast Corridor. CSX running long hood forward.
CSX 295 leads an intermodal Westbound by the old West Shore abutment at Savage Road in Churchville, NY on October 20, 2019. For decades I almost exclusively got my Fall foliage train photo's in the Southern Tier, but with no hopes of more than 1 daylight train on that line, I decided to try some Fall color along the CSX main.
E/B NS 047 Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Train passes under the old C&O line at Surveyor, WV on the Princeton-Deepwater District.
A CSX local with former B&O GP40-2 4160 leads a string of hoppers through McKees Rocks PA next to the former P&LE shops.
CSX 8199 in Seaboard System Paint, CSX 6041 in Chessie Paint, and a blue & gray GP40-2 lead a Westbound on the P&LE at CP 29 in Beaver Falls, PA on August 4, 1990.
The CSX Saginaw Yard job crosses the Tittabawassee River after interchanging with the Mid Michigan Railroad at Paines Junction. CSX engine 2645 has certainly seen better days as LN 4139 which is a GP38-2. Photo is from June 3, 1991 as the job heads east back to the yard.
L520, the daily Joliet to Kirk Yard local, coasts through CSX Junction just outside of Kirk. CN 2415 wears a relatively fresh coat of CN paint following a wreck in 2010 that destroyed the front quarter of the unit, making it a nice change compared to the faded pink Zebra barns and the grimy North America units as well.
