Continuing with the standard cab theme of June 17 2020 ,here is CSX train V089 with an SD40-2 / SD50 pair westbound approaching Lodi, Oh. Thanks to the Sham's ears, we knew this guy was headed west when we left Mansfield and were able to intercept before setting up for the W&LE 735. I did see a wide cab off in the distance that day when the Ashland job was getting close to Willard but wsa nowhere close to shooting one.
On July 28, 1990 a pair of SD50's in Chessie colors and a pair of gray GP30's get ready to depart the CSX New Castle Yard in front of the office as crews look on. The CSX yard was usually very busy in the late afternoon, and this was probably either R381 or R383 since those two freights worked at New Castle before continuing West.

Swinging around the wye to park the train at CSX Wyvern Yard, G154-28 splits the signals at W&A Wye on a bitterly cold January afternoon.
CSX train Q219 (Toledo, OH, Stanley Yard to Indianapolis, IN, Avon Yard, general merchandise) crosses over from the #2 to the #1 mainline at Post Rd., formerly known as CP-Post or "The Post" in Lawrence, Indiana and will be entering Indianapolis city limits in a few more miles, as he rolls into town on the former Big 4 "Bee Line", now known to CSX as the Indianapolis Line Sub. The NYC tri-light signals can be seen in the distance. CP-Post has long been the location of universal crossovers and a defect detector, and once upon a time, an interlocking tower.
Tucked away in the Honeycutt Creek Holler of North Cove, NC is the Clinchfield's own Horseshoe Curve, located between the 199.0 and 199.5 mileposts. The Honeycutt Intermediate is just out of view at the bottom right and the South End of Rocky is over our left shoulder if you're still trying to figure out exactly where this is.
This curve in itself leaves much to be desired when compared to its illustrious Pennsylvania counterpart. Besides triple track, heavy traffic, and its own easily accessible park, the Pennsy's curve also boasts 220° of course change on a 9° bend up a 1.34% grade. Whereas, the Clinchfield's utilizes 190° of course change on an 8° bend up a 0.91% grade (not as dramatic, but better engineered).
This curve certainly doesn't get the attention that the Pennsy's does, but it's a neat little facet of the infamous Loops that I feel like often goes unnoticed. If you squint hard, you'll see empty CSX hopper train E403-16 traversing the curve with 94 empties in tow. If you squint really hard, you'll see Kristopher Hazen in the engineer's seat picking his nose.

The train is bound for GA Power's Plant Bowen in Stilesboro, GA.
CSX 3131 leads the Westbound trash train down the "Shore" at CP359 in Perinton, NY on April 22, 2018. Too bad that faux 30 wasn't in the lead.
CSX 921 leading an all CSX train of covered hoppers around the big curve at Krieder Road in the morning light.
Cade had given me a heads up on this one and I stuck around long enough for it to come into view.
CSX O72127 passes the C-1W "Black Creek Canal" in the Kendall area of Miami-Dade County out of Krome Quarry. This portion of the GPC spur is interesting, the trains go the opposite of their intended direction, whereas the train is heading south it is running railroad north towards Hialeah. A socially distanced swap meet organized by ECHOES allowed a good opportunity to grab this on the way out. This stretch is often one-and-done territory due to traffic patterns going to and from Krome Av. 88th St is the nearest access point to the more developed portion of Dade, whereas your other options are 8th St and 184th street, both at least 5 miles out. Cool crew onboard.

CSX 148 crosses Hohman Ave. in Hammond IN. on the old B&OCT. The building's at right may not be long for this world.
Having just passed the diamond at HV, a heavy manifest accelerates into his pull north out of Columbus on a sunny Saturday evening. CSX Columbus Subdivision. Columbus, OH. June 24, 2023.
A CSX intermodal sits underneath 164 waiting to go into PIT. Had #885 at the lead with a new DPU sticker. First time catching a CSX train on the Portsmouth, pretty cool.
