CSX Q647 is still north of Fitzgerald, Georgia and is seen at Arp with a mixed consist of EMD 40 series motors in November of 2003. (Slide Scan)
CSX Grain train G053 heads east under the South Buffalo Railway bridge and 3 Automatic signal at Tifft.
CSX engine terminal in Saginaw, MI. is viewed with an assortment of locomotives awaiting duty. The General Motors Gray Iron Foundry serves as a backdrop in March of 1989.
CSX 8139 leads train Q-136 at CP RIVERTON in McKeesport, PA on March 28, 1997. The tracks going up the ramp to the left were the URR that crossed the Mon River and was used to access the Camp Hill Mill in McKeesport. It is now a bike trail.
On Monday afternoon 11/8/21, I found both the eastbound Q316 and westbound Q317 freights in Parkersburg at the the same time. True to recent CSX form, they were both long enough to hang out their respective ends of the yard. Q317 shown here climbing up to the trestle over the Little Kanawha River was due to leave first.
I wasn't familiar with this overview and was planning to just take an average view from ground level. In looking around I saw a bench up on the hill and realized the top of the hill is a park. Railroad history is intertwined with the park. In the Civil War Fort Boreman was built to protect the important B&O railroad along the south side of the Ohio River. The fort was abandoned after the war after never firing guns in anger.
The track to the left is the BIP's interchange to CSX's Lower Yard.
A pair of GEVOs take A770 with roughly 12000 feet of empty rock hoppers north at Bolen. The train is destined for Brownsand, GA and typically drops hoppers on the way there at certain locations along the Fitzgerald Subdivision.
A loaded CSX coal train powers Southbound over the old Western & Atlantic Subdivision, seen here approaching Emerson, GA. Note the power on this train, a CSX AC6000CW still in it's YN2 paint, along with a CSX AC4400CW also still in YN2 paint. I wish they'd leave this paint scheme alone, especially on the AC6000CW!
CSX #1776 (Spirit of our Armed Forces) leads Q409-18 and #3194/911 as a DPU (honoring First Responders) south through Richmond on I-195 after P/D at Acca Yard.
Catching a CSX SD70MAC on the point of of a UP train was probably rarer than catching a heritage unit on the point. I’ll take it either way.
Big curve at Krieder earlier this AM. Like Grumpy will say, needs some selective tree trimming here to make this shot better.
A CREX (Citirail) ES44AC leads a CSX C40-8W as they pull a Cincinnati bound string of intermodal and Tropicana juice cars Northbound on the CSX W&A Sub at Cartersville, GA on 1/31/2015.

CSX train Q368 runs under the abandoned overpass in Guilderland, New York with an Ex LMS dash 8 trailing
CSX local B747 switches cars along the “Old Main” in New Haven, Connecticut. Not much work today as this was one of two events that took place with this train.
April 9, 2018: An EMD SD70MAC leads an ET44AH engine, as they pull CSX Freight/Autorack Train Q211 (Louisville, KY-Columbia, SC) Southbound by the signals on the North end of Emerson, GA on the CSX Western & Atlantic Subdivision. This train has returned to being an Autorack only train since this image was taken.
*Throwback Thursday*. A pair of EMD Demonstrator SD70ACe engines pull the Cincinnati bound Tropicana/Intermodal Northbound on the CSX W&A Subdivision at Cartersville, GA on 4/18/2013.
CSX M317-11 rolls through McCoole preparing to stop and work Keyser. On the point was CSXT 4796 still looking quite clean despite it rolling out of Huntington 6 months ago. Also something interest, this was 317s third day in a row with a flared 70MAC on the point.
CSX SD60 #8704 is pictured at Coal Run KY on May 30th 1994. Everett N Young photo, JL Sessa collection.
Lots of EMD's occupying the shop tracks at Tilford Yard in Atlanta, GA including a new ECO #1702. Notice all the RCO equipped locomotives in the line as most of the RCO jobs have been cut along with the hump yard. They went from 5 RCO jobs a shift to just one along with the car and engine shops going to skeleton crew. Hump yard is now a parking lot for trains waiting on crews.
CSX 8504 (a former SBD SD50) guides R330 across the Saginaw River during 1989. What makes this trip a bit different is that there is the a lack of the chemical cars coming from Midland, MI. Essentially what we are seeing is the required five bumper cars between the locomotives and the consist.
CSX faux-30 2265 is the leader on CSX train Q380, passing the signals at College Station in Beaver Falls, PA on December 11, 1993.
Following the annual CSX Santa Train has become one of my favorite railfan traditions. The weather is often not the best but it is such a cool operation and it's great to see and meet many of the internet names from Flickr and FB. This year CSX timed one of the first runs of it's latest mullet heritage unit with leading the Santa Train. And engineer Scott 'Scooter' Steffey timed his last run before retirement with running this year's train. What a way to go out. He appeared to be having a great time often playing the best rendition of Jingle Bells that a GEVO horn can make. Here the train is pulling into Elkhorn City, KY at 7:01 AM for it's first stop on the former Clinchfield. Sunrise on the date would have been at 7:17 on this cloudy day. So it was quite dark taking this shot. I've often said that these modern cameras see better in the dark than I do and this shot proves it. Other than blowing out the headlight (I have to get wider), I'm pretty happy with it.
