New fatheads 7851 & 7847 lead train Q-381 at the diamond with the ex P&LE New Castle Branch at OA Tower in Mahoningtown, PA on January 23, 1993. I was never a fan of the wide cab GE's, but you have to shoot the diamond with whatever power comes along. At least this CSX scheme is much nicer than what is current.
Southbound manifest M541 is the only scheduled train through CP Dortha on New Years Eve and arrives for a crew change in Corbin. The outbound crew has not been called yet, so the crew will be tying the train down for a few hours. L&N era signals have remained on this line as it is exempt from PTC qualification.
CSX train 171 is westbound, passing the east end of the Van Bibber passing siding on the Philadelphia Subdivision. RF&P GP40-2 143 leads.
Stopping off on the way to the Bourbon Trail for a lengthy lunch at a sidewalk cafe in Lagrange, KY gave CSX enough time to run a couple of southbounds. It was a nice spring day and pretty easy to wait for a horn and pop up from the table to get in position.
A CSX mixed auto and stack train speeds west towards Amsterdam station on the Mohawk Sub.
Shooting a train along this line has been a goal of mine for the longest time. My family has gone down to the States each summer for at least the past 6 years (excluding 2020 due to COVID), with every trip down South came the drive along the Mohawk river on the I90. I would sit with my face pressed to the glass in the back of the car hoping to see something along the tracks. This year I was able to convince my parents to make a stop in Amsterdam, NY which gave me the chance to get trackside and wait for something. After around 10 minutes the train came around the bend and into view as it brought those 6 years of watching for trains came to a close. Definitely worth the wait.
CSX C40-8W 7394 ad SD40-2 8851 , both still sporting Conrail paint lead eastbound on the joint IHB/B&OCT at Blue Island IL, Dec 19 1999.
An empty CSX coal train (E773-15) glides down the North Toe River valley on the former Clinchfield past the Penland, NC post office on July 17, 2022. The building was constructed in 1902 for a lumber company and has been a post office since 1934. It was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.The current post master, Ms. Rebecca Davis has been in her position for 40 years.
After the train passed, I was looking around taking a few pictures of the building and had one of those neat experiences that we all come across from time to time as we're out doing our thing. A car pulled up and an older lady with her hair in curlers got out (and by older, I'm comparing her to me). I haven't seen curlers for lots of years. She said "Hello, I'm the postmaster and I just came to lock up the building." Now this was on a Sunday late afternoon. She explained that she knew that some people wouldn't have been able to come in on Saturday to get their mail so she opened it up on Sunday so they could stop in and pick it up. We don't get service like that in our suburb. I wanted to ask if I could take her picture in front of the post office but I remember some ladies not wanting to be seen in curlers.
Here at CSX Saginaw Yard in Michigan, one of the yard jobs is captured switching the Wadsworth St. end on the south side of the facility. Shown in September of 1987, the U18B was originally built during December of 1973 for the Seaboard Coast Line.

CSX C40-8 # 9280 screeches around a curve at the Farm Road 59 crossing just outside of Bois D’Arc, MO, shoving the C-WTMPAM.
A pair of CSX AC6000CW engines, including one of the "Diversity in Motion" logo engines on the lead, power a Northbound string of empty Coal Hoppers on the CSX Etowah Subdivision, seen here passing through Wyvern Yard at Cartersville, GA.
CSX train X368 charges towards Selkirk with solid NS power. Definitely cool to see something other than corporate CSX GEs on the Selkirk sub.
You could title this image as "Beauty and the Beast". CSX GP30m 4260 in Chessie colors shares the engine tracks with ugly BQ23-7 3005 at New Castle Yard in Mahoningtown, PA on September 20, 1992.

This empty coal train has just turned in Fostoria, Oh. bound for Columbus led by CSX #556 and #3232. (8/6/16)
La direttrice CSX che lascia Toledo e discende attraverso le sconfinate campagne dell'Ohio settentrionale verso la capitale Columbus e' caratterizzata da essere ancora seguita, per buona parte del percorso, dalla vecchia linea telegrafica che una volta connetteva il Michigan al resto del paese.
Nella foto assistiamo al transito di un malconcio convoglio per il trasporto di carbone di ritorno verso le miniere della Virginia affidato alle cure delle unita' #556, una AC44CW e #3232. che si e' appena lasciato alle spalle il nodo di Fostoria. (6/8/16)
CSX 6913 smokes it up as it leads train R-136 at Aliquippa, PA on December 26, 1990. There was almost nothing left of the once expansive J&L Steel Works that stretched along here, literally for miles.
CSX SD60 #8704 is pictured at Coal Run KY on May 30th 1994. Everett N Young photo, JL Sessa collection.
Back on March 24, 2014, CSX gave us an epic power set on Nashville to Atlanta manifest/freight train Q581-22. The power set consisted of two BNSF engines in the old Santa Fe "Warbonnet" paint (D9-44CW and SD75I), a Canadian National (ES44DC), and an Iowa Chicago & Eastern (SD40-2). The train is seen here powering Southbound on the CSX W&A Subdivision at Cartersville, GA.
CSX W583-03, a loaded rock train that originated at the quarry in Mount Vernon, exits the tunnel on the former L&N Lebanon Branch and onto the CC Subdivision for a quick run down to Corbin
CSX train Q212 heads east with a single YN2 leader, I was quite surprised to see this thing hauling over 100 cars
CSX CW60AC #602, "The Spirit of Maryland" is seen fresh at Erie on June 23rd 1997. This was a period where AC traction was ushering in a new era on CSX beginning with CW44s and CW60s from GE alongside SD70MACs from EMD. Your humble Flickr Pal had the 602 several times during his CSX career, during happier times for this unit. It now languishes at Waycross GA facing an uncertain fate. A Coon-Lon production...JL Sessa collection.
September 3, 2018: CSX loaded grain train G105 (Hopkinsville, KY-Gainesville, GA) passes over the high fill covered with thick Georgia kudzu near Emerson, GA on the CSX Western & Atlantic Subdivision, with a trio of standard GE engines, lead by an ES40DC, for power.
We'll start off thank you Thursday with a thank you to Blaze for some morning B&A action where some bolt cutters may or may not have been necessary.
This CSX guy went around the NS at the end of double track a few miles west of us and is rumbling into the siding here to set off interchange for the New England Central and Massachusetts Central.
While they do their work a westbound would scoot past everyone.
The cloud deck in the background marred what had been a nice afternoon chase of rail train W019 in February 2025. It emerged from the clouds in Greenwich allowing one last end-of-the-day sunny shot.
A conductor trainee (he's wearing an orange vest) on CSX rides the front of a locomotive making a switch move in Cayce, South Carolina. The conductor, who is out of sight in this photograph, was very methodical with this young man. He let him throw the switches in the yard and made sure he know to look at the rails and make sure the tracks were lined up the right way before he allowed the train to pass over them.
CSX Q351 passes the former BV tower and now automatic signal at 8 with a Furball SD40-2, CSX SD70MAC, and a GECX ET44AC.
Shot from the overpass just off US 31W in the late afternoon. Only shot I've ever taken here despite going past it for the past two decades.
The Chesapeake and Ohio James River Subdivision follows the favorable descending river grade of the James River east to Richmond. Some of the earth work required to build the railroad began as the tow path of the failed extension of the James River and Kanawha Canal. To avoid a horseshoe bend in the James near Lyle Virginia, a tunnel was excavated beginning in 1853 to cross the neck of the peninsula in the center of the horseshoe via aqueducts over the river on both ends. The original canal bore required enlargement for the railroad equipment of the period. C&O named the 189 foot bore “Little Tunnel”. Although the bore was enlarged again in 1933, neither linings or portals have been added to the limestone and quartz of Buttons Bluff.
Eastbound CSX utility coal train T318-05 from Newell, PA to Cross, SC glides over the James River framed in the rough rock of Little Tunnel.
