CSX C30-7 7071 leads a SD50 on Q-276 at CP SINNS in Liberty Boro, PA on December 30, 1997. Hopefully an acceptable 30 Thursday offering.
A southbound mixed freight passes the shell of the tower at Leipsic, Ohio in June 1988. As the second unit shows, it was CSX by then but the lead GP40 still wears Chessie System paint with C&O lettering. In the spring and early summer of 1988, I spent a lot of time in Lima, Ohio backfilling a spot on a modernization project at the refinery. When I could get out of the plant in daylight, I would typically cruise up and down Rt 65 looking for DT&I trains on the this trackage that they shared but usually found CSX southbounds. They usually had a fleet of southbounds in the afternoon. Leipsic was a crossing of the former B&O between Toledo and Cincinnati and the former NKP mainline.
In fading daylight, a West bound CSX Ammonia train heads out of Richmond, VA over James River Viaduct.
CSX K65206 passes one of 3 original NYC searchlights remaining on CSX's Riverline with a CN C40-8 leading.
Last of the Mohicans
CSX SD70MAC 4566 is one of the last SD70MAC's on the CSX roster to retain its as delivered YN2 "Bright Future" paint scheme. Despite terrible weather and bright skies, I ventured out to get a photo of it for what very well may be the last time I see it in YN2 paint.
I took a gamble on trying to zoom pan it, and managed to get a lucky frame.

CSX's former MARC GP40WH-2 9969 shoves the geometry trainset through Blue Island Junction, so they can gain access to Track 9 and head up toward the former Rock Island. Running as CSX W003, the test train will take Metra trackage to Joliet then test the CSX New Rock Sub from Joliet to Ottawa and back the next morning.

Herzog and CSX crews coordinate dropping off a cut of Herzog hoppers from their train at the WSS of Mitchell, IN on the evening of July 25, 2020. Once the shuffle was completed, the CSX crew will head west on the former B&O as far as their hours of service will let them to Milepost 147ish.
CSX train D795 climbs Jacks Mountain near Fairfield, Pa. on it's way to Hagerstown, Md. The train is operating on the former Western Maryland Railway's Dutch line and will reach the summit at Highfield, Md. in a few miles. The train is led by GP40-2 6425 a rare leader for this train that usually gets two wide noise GEs. Taken on 05-2-2020.
CSX 6110 still in Chessie colors leads R-136 out of New Castle Jct. in Mahoningtown, PA after a crew change on February 27, 1993. This view shows the yard and sidings on the right, as well as the ex P&LE main on the far left.
Here is the view looking the other direction off the Koppel Bridge from my previous post. I don't know the full history of this branch, but it once gave the P&LE access to Ellwood City as well as Koppel. The bridge that took the branch to Ellwood City is just visible through the trees in the upper center of the photo. I did hike down from the bridge to JA after getting pics of 1945, and did get a CSX train passing the yard at JA. Maybe I'll post it later today. Koppel, PA on December 29, 1992.
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.
3 CSX SD's lead a Rochester-bound coal train past UN tower at the east end of New Castle on a frosty early morning in December 1986. UN tower was so named because it was near the underpass of UnioN road. UN controlled movements in and out of the east end of the yard in New Castle as well as the connection between the B&O's Pittsburgh & Western and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie. It was remoted in November 1995 but was saved by the Beaver Valley Junction chapter of the NRHS who moved it to a nearby park in Mahoningtown. It was cut in half and top and bottom halves were moved by rail. This coal train would take the P&W out of New Castle down to Edineau where it would switch off onto the former BR&P that is now operated by the Buffalo & PIttsburgh.

CSX 4555 slips through the signals at EM Cabin with black diamonds for Brice. Though past-peak, good color still clung to the trees, painting the Appalachian mountainsides of pallette of reds and oranges.
CSX GP39-2 4310 sits idle at the north end of Moncrief yard as CSX 3319 backs their coal train into the yard.
CSX GP30m in B&O blue with the added sunburst on the nose is at the New Castle Yard in Mahoningtown, PA on June 25, 1993.
The CL&W built along Big Creek, a tributary of the Cuyahoga River to get down the hill into Cleveland's industrial valley. Here is the daily L317 local led by a mother/slug set drifting down the hill with cars for customers in the valley. This section is between the Metropark's Brookside Reservation and Interstate 71.
A newly-rebuilt CM44AC leads an intermodal train west on the Barr Subdivision at Pine on pleasant Spring evening. What Pine lacks in scenery, it makes up for in sheer number of trains.
CSX Geometry train W003 passes over the Erie Canal in Tonawanda heading north on the Niagara Branch.
