A going away shot of the 3156. As i shot this, M410 was rolling through the turnout at Control Point Brunswick Junction. Situated atop Memorial Drive, it is here that the Brunswick Subdivision splits from the Jesup. The line runs 49 miles east to its namesake City on the Atlantic Coast by way of Hoboken and Nahunta. Until 2007 the Junction also consisted of another turnout that was situated were about that covered hopper is ahead of the DPU. This turnout linked the Jesup side to the original entrance for the Fitzgerald Subdivision. Before the diamond outside of Rice Yard was installed, Trains heading to the Fitz were required to take the north leg of the South Wye before passing the City’s ACL Depot. From were i’m standing, Trains then turned to the left onto a 1.2 Mile Connection Track that crossed Plant Avenue and Carswell Avenue (State Road 122). After Carswell, the track paralled nearby Brunswick Avenue for just under a Mile before rejoining the current Fitz Alignment at Control Point Lang. From when the Head End hit South Wye to when the rear cleared Lang, Trains were force to crawl at no more than 15 Mile per hour through Town. These slow running speeds led to constant traffic bottlenecks for both the Railroad and City of Waycross Residents. So to alleviate these traffic snarls, CSX upgraded its existing A&P Freight Lead between South Nicholls Street and Lang to Double-Track Mainline Status. As part of this realignment project, Track J2 between South Wye and South Waycross was extended down to Astoria and the Fitzgerald side was double-tracked between Lang and Jamestown. All of these upgrades combined created a new 7 Mile long Connected Double-Track alignment through Town, allowing Trains to and from the Fitz to completely bypass Waycross Proper at speeds of up to 40MPH. Once this new alignment opened, the original was promptly removed and today part of it has been converted to a Bike Path. Video of this catch and more: youtu.be/Lr47CNyWD-g
CSX was using this run around track up until 2011. They would pull east of Edgar to run around their train for the return trip to Hawthorne. Now they use a shoving platform. This allows them to back out onto the main line and head north.

CSX CW44AH Nos 581 and 598 bring westbound manifest train Q263 west around the curve on track 1 approaching the Bayview Road crossing in Hamburg, NY. Track work is ongoing today and ties are scattered along the right-of-way. This train has 270 axles.
Not L595, as it was supposed to be, but X595 eases past Greencastle Yard with a very interesting consist. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm actually starting to like YN2 AC44s just a tad. Hey, I gotta find something to look for as more and more cool stuff disappears.
But the real gems in this lashup are not the two AC44s up front, but the B40-8 third out and the BNSF C44-9W fourth out. I was pretty satisfied with this guy.
CSX #2777 (EMD GP38-2; Conrail #8199, June 1978), new paint, leading a short local industry freight manifest in McMechen, WV. The CSX Yard, Benwood, WV, is about one-half (.05) mile north of the trains location in this photograph, August 2011. (Note: poor attempt at pacing the train with an inexpensive camera).
