    93 years and Counting

    The westbound Hancock Turn, a.k.a. CSX D721, exits 93 year old Carothers Tunnel on its way back to Cumberland Yard. The crew has a nice quiet ride in the cab of Road Slug #2265 (former B&O GP30 #6902) which is mated to GP40-2 #6482. Several cars from the U.S. Silica plant in nearby...

    Foggy Start

    It's 7:53am and patches of morning fog are still holding on to areas of the CSX Cumberland Sub. The temperatures would rise above 70 on this day, but Q217 doesn't seem to mind the early chill in the wilds of West Virginia as it sprints the remaining 48 miles towards Cumberland Yard

    Fancy Meeting You

    Ex-Conrail C40-8W #7349 has her former colors shining through with red class lights on the leader of Q261 destined for the GM plant in Lordstown, Ohio. The train going away from the camera is Q370 for Philly with a junk manifest. CPL's still burn brightly on much of the Cumberland Sub as their...

    Like a 747

    E747 rounds the curve at Green Spring, West Virginia about 7 miles shy of Cumberland Yard. After a crew change there, these 85 empties will route back to the mines, down the CSX Mountain Sub towards Grafton

    Vardo Stop

    NS 214 eases into Vardo Yard at Hagerstown for a crew change prior to continuing northward. 11R from Binghamton had 3 units in charge of a manifest freight ready to roll south as soon as this guy clears

    Florida or Bust

    Former K651, now Q741 Tropicana Juice empties roll south past Amtrak King Street station with a few intermodals ahead of all the reefers. The sun appeared very briefly during this shot (woo hoo) before returning to gray skies and thick clouds

  10. Over the Monongahela

    Over the Monongahela

    NS C26 works a cut of MOW cars at the West Brownsville Yard with three geeps and plenty of water below her. The Monongahela River sets the stage for operations in this area south of Pittsburgh resulting in coal traffic galore for both NS and CSX.

  11. Q226 Delivers

    Q226 Delivers

    Q226 eases into the west end of Connellsville Yard with scores of freshly built Kentucky automobiles behind her. The Q226 would drop off 19 racks in the yard before proceeding to Baltimore. An old Western Maryland trestle still stands guard in the background

    Pennsy Parade

    An SD60M and an SD70M-2 round the curve at Greensburg with a hot load of double stacks bound for the east coast. The 20Q was one of 5 trains in an hour here.

    South on the Mon

    NS local N20 moves through the wye track at West Brownsville with 9 cars of fly ash past the American Legion monument near the Monongahela River. This train would make it as far south as Clarksville before they would get on the horn with the NS Mon Line DS to work out a recrew.
