The KLBDUD 13's CSX Pushers get ready to drop off the 1.65% grade at Hesperia. The Union Pacific was able to use its routing options with this train due to Sunset Route track work which usually takes place in the winter due to obvious reasons. This train with take the LA&SL line to the Overland route to complete it's run to Dupo, Illinois
CSX 713 is tied down with a westbound freight in Ansonia, Ohio on the afternoon of November 8, 2024.
CSX M370-25 rolls through Yoder on its journey eastbound. 370 this day had two fresh CM44AC rebuilds on the headend, and ironically passed a YN2 duo of AC44CWs just west of Garrett, PA.
CSX Police Department hosted an Operation Lifesaver event to kick off Rail Safety Week today in East Chicago, IN. Their freshly repainted Operation Lifesaver unit was on hand for the event. I have been involved with Operation Lifesaver since 1982 so I would like to remind everyone to be cautious whenever you cross railroad tracks. See tracks? Think train! Even if the gates or lights aren't activated, take a look down the tracks before you cross. Don't meet a train by accident!

CSX 203 leads Q515 south down CSX’s S&NA North Sub. This is former Louisville & Nashville iron. One could be forgiven if they were to think this was a scene buried deep in Appalachian country. Close but not quite. This scene is at Bangor, AL.
Maine... not Maryland!
The ever frequent CSXT 2548 was the most common CSX unit to see go up the former Lower Road to Brunswick between 2022 and 2024, with a couple other four-axle CSX units as well including their F-units, and I think two SD40-2's.
It's a sunny spring day as now renamed L077 rolls into town for the weekly meet with Midcoast Railservice, only about three months before the last freight run on the Rockland Branch. They are seen crossing Stanwood St. just east of the old MEC yard, now the Amtrak layover facility.

CSX train M693-16 is passing the Minpro Intermediate (located at the far end of the small straightaway) and Quartz Corp's Minpro plant, just north of Spruce Pine, NC.
Formerly KT Feldspar, this plant at Minpro was rolled into the Quartz Corp conglomerate within the past 15 years or so, and with that merger (along with Fledspar Corp's Altapass plants), Feldspar processing and shipping began to change in the Spruce Pine area. I'm not sure how things work here exactly, but as evidenced by the loading spur chock full of covered hoppers, this site does a lot of rail shipping. My guess is that all of Quartz Corp's rail shipments are currently done from this location, as no railcars are loaded at the Altapass/Flotation plant anymore (the only cars loaded at Flotation are for US Gypsum, a separate entity and product).
Since my days of picking up truck loads at this plant, it looks as if the ore crushing part of this facility has been removed. The highwall near the center of the photo was where trucks dumped ore into the crusher, and a conveyor fed that material into the main plant for processing. The material worked its way downhill through its various processing until it was either loaded in bulk into railcar/tanker truck, or bagged for shipment via container/box truck. Again, I'm not sure what all is shipped from here by truck now (the plant in Connecticut that we hauled to shut down and never reopened, so we haven't been here for some time), but I do know the Spruce Pine local has work here every time I've caught them working.
A thanks is in order for Spencer Landis for convincing me that this train was in the "Kona Triangle" and keeping me from overshooting on the hunt. In his words, "You gotta drive 200 miles to get any action up here these days instead of just picking a place and letting the action come to you."
At least they're easy to chase and get ahead of I guess...

After months of trying to catch a on train on the Straight Creek Branch on a sunny day, I finally had enough. So every day for a week and a half I drove up to Pineville determined to find a train, and it finally paid off!
Seen here is today's conductor protecting the shove across the KY-66 crossing at Field.
