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?

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...

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...

They leave Bedford Park with the racks. They are full of Teslas, the UP delivers them directly to Bedford Park. Thank you so much, Typhoon!

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!

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

It seems as though an occasional grain or phosphate train to/from Michigan/Ohio and the deep Southeast wi...
