April 24, 2018: A special visitor made it's way to the CSX Western & Atlantic Subdivision, as the Norfolk Southern engine 911 "Honoring First Responders" (SD60E EMD) leads CSX manifest train Q580 (Charlotte, NC-Nashville, TN) Northbound at Emerson, GA with a pair of company engines (SD40-3 EMD, ES44AH GE) providing backup. I almost didn't shoot at this spot, but luckily I chose right, because the sun came out just long enough the grab it in light.

Watch the video I shot of this train here
CSX empty coal train E655 passes by 427 with NIWX B40-8 #1861 going to the Midwest Preservation Society.
CSX 5725 leads what looks like R138 at CP29 in Beaver Falls, PA on August 1, 1990. At the time, it was rare to catch an older GE like this U36B, especially leading on a premier train.
CSX train R135 crosses the massive Ohio River Bridge late in the day on April 24, 1993. The nose of Chessie painted 6125 finds one of the few remaining pockets of sun as the shadows grow long across the Ohio River Valley at Beaver, PA.
The Southbound CSX freight train rolls through the cut at Kennesaw, GA with one of their work horses, a GE ES44AH leading the charge.
CN 599 has CSX power (CSXT 5303 & CSXT 159) and a long string of baretables for the Port of Montreal as it awaits its signal.
CSX Y121 crosses the small bridge over Martin Stream outside of Hinckley on an overcast New Year's Eve morning in 2024. Leading the way down to Waterville was MEC 315, an EMD GP40 wearing a faded coat of Guilford Rail System paint.
From March 22, 2014. A pair of leased EMD SD40-2 engines from CITX and CEFX power the Chattanooga bound freight on the CSX W&A Subdivision, seen here shoving back to drop some cars at Junta Yard in Cartersville, GA.
Sadly, after the train resumed it's run North, it would hit a man who was walking on the tracks less than a 1/4 mile from this location.
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.
A CSX crew is working the south end of the Cayce, South Caroluna yard in this photogrph I made in September 2015. The crew is using two locomotives each built in 1977. CSX 2765 was built for Conrail as EMD GP3802 8176.
Meanwhile, the trailing unit was built by EMD as Seaboard Coast Line (SCL) MP15AC 4008, then Seaboard System, same number. Upon the creation of CSX, it became CSX 1158. Sometime after this shot was made, CSX sold it to the Grafton and Upton Railroad Company as GU 1158.
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 1851 the Nashville Chattanoga & St Louis heritage unit as rear DPU on CP 254 at Bensenville, IL.
CSX C791-28 descends the infamous 17 mile grade with the two GEs dynamics howling at “Crabtree” (former known as Bond).
Roughly 5 miles south of Ashley, OH, CSX 7661 leads Q391 past milepost 107 on its way to Columbus on the Columbus Line, aka the "Burt Line".
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.

This is a scene that's been missing from the CSX Cartersville Sub a few years now, since the tragic explosion at the grain facility in Rockmart. Fortunately, the reconstruction of the facility is nearing completion, so hopefully grain trains can return to operating on this line again.
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.
