Triple Threat

Three CSX loaded coal trains await new crews on the Brunswick Yard lead track prior to rolling eastward on the Metropolitan Sub.
Don't quote me on this, but I think they use the air hoses connected to some sort of compressor to keep the brake lines charged up for a quicker departure. CSX also does this in their yard at Cumberland, Maryland, so I'm guessing it's a systemwide practice.
 
Roger that Eric...all 3 are AC4400CW's. I believe their slugged as CW44AC's in the CSX locomotive computer system that only recognizes 6 digits
