I have no idea where the CSX hauls the trash you saw, but trash hauling in unit trains is a big business for BNSF and UP in the northwest, hauling containerized trash out of Seattle, Tacoma, Portland areas to huge landfills in arid central Washington and Oregon which have been engineered to not leak into acquifers, etc.
Waycross is the busiest single point for CSX in the southern part of their system (when only counting CSX trains). Waycross sees over 60 trains in a 24-hour period including intermodal, autorack, manifest, locals, and unit trains. For the northern part of their system, I’m thinking Fostoria, Chicago, Selkirk, Greenwich, and Deshler. Andrew
Approximately dawn this morning CSX experienced a 3-train derailment in Clifton Forge, Virginia - less than 10 miles east of where a coal train derailed earlier this month in Covington, Va. A report on another website stated a "....Yard job shoving a train into the yard derailed, hitting
CSX recently activated all of the coke cars that RJ Corman had been storing for them east of Elgin, OH on the ex Erie Lackawanna mainline. From a friend in Lima, he said that it took at least three runs to get everything delivered to CSX there in town.
Back in 1990, a partially loaded Wisconsin Electric train of WEPX hoppers approaches the West Virginia border near Pine Bank, PA behind CSX, CNW, and Monongahela power on the Monongahela Railway's Waynesburg Southern branch. These "layer-loaded" trains would load each hopper halfway at Co
In the 1960's and early 1970's, certain trains were allowed 65 mph such as 109 and 110, the hotshots between Potomac Yard in Alexandria, VA and Moncrief Yard, Jacksonville. 65 mph was the maximum because the F-7's and GP-7's which powered all the freights were geared for 65 mph.
Condensed from the Eastern Railroads Section of Train Orders: CSX is spending between $32 and $40 million to reinstall and upgrade the Cumberland hump yard that the late CSX CEO Hunter Harrison had removed. He didn’t live long enough to enjoy the $ Millions he got from CSX or to acknowledge the folly of Precision Scheduled Railroading.
Management has since put out information to T&E that they plan to combine trains 606 and 602 with distributed power out of New Orleans. I believe 601 out of Waycross is in the "plan" as well. About 4 years ago when the last time CSX tried running DP on the 602/606 trains they failed miserably and abandoned the idea and I hope they fail again ...
A couple years ago CSX started experimenting with coal train lengths and DPUs and also with running doubled up loaded and empty trains east of Keyser. This required most coal and empty trains to make some sort of double or set out at Keyser so they moved the manifest tonnage reducing work to Cumberland a simply ran the extra train from there ...
