Re: CSX Locomotive Roster News, Updates & Information Thread

The pictures floating around Facebook were actually low-res scans from the ebay listing (now ended) for slides of the first two units. I'll try linking the images from ebay.

Re: DC-AC traction questions

Are you referring to the roaring (or a whirling sound) that appears to come from the traction motors themselves and gets louder with speed?

CSX 4735 & 4715 were spotted in Huntington Heavy Repair undergoing disassembly; these are flared SD70ACs from the later 2003-2004 group. Unclear if this group is being overhauled with Mitsubishi electronics like the earlier, non-flared 4500 series units were

Re: East Palestine, Ohio Major NS Derailment

This 2018 report explains the response used in a multi-car hazmat derailment on ICG in 1982. Cars of other unconsumed substances unexpectedly ignited and exploded after cleanup had already begun. Six additional unbreached cars contained vinyl chloride that was deemed too unstable to offload, so they...

This video shows 493, 437, 480 and 447 before rebuilding at Erie. According to the video, the batch of units currently being rebuilt at Erie had pre-exisitng damage or issues that needed to be addressed before being rebuilt/modernized.

Re: New CSX Special Unit

Interesting scheme! Does anyone know if the gold/yellow is the same used on the YN3 scheme? And also, is the blue the same as what's used on the YN3 scheme?

It can be very hard to tell the exact colors through pictures, and the YN3 blue and gold get covered in grime quickly.

CSX Toyota Traffic from Princeton, IN

Earlier this year, March or so, CSX began running Q227/Q228 from Louisville via the Texas Line to handle Toyota business from Princeton, IN. These initial movements were well documented, but I've not come across any recent photos, videos, or discussion of these trains on the Web for some time. Is CS...

CSX I025

Hello, I025 has been frequently running with autoracks on the head end for around a month or so.

Can anyone confirm if the train is leaving Chicago with the racks, or are the racks being picked up somewhere along the route, such as in Indiana?

Thanks!

NS Intermodal Renumberings

As part of TOP21-SPG, there are supposedly some renumberings coming to the intermodal network. Does anyone have any information on the extent of these changes and which date it's happening?

Thanks in advance!

Re: CSX Grain, Phosphate, & Ethanol South of Cincy

What trains are left on the Corbin sub? Seems like CSX is trying to avoid Corbin or am I wrong? It seems that way. The only scheduled through trains are Q541/Q542 between Waycross & Cincinnati. It seems as though an occasional grain or phosphate train to/from Michigan/Ohio and the deep Southeast wi...
