CSX 393

After getting word that a passenger special would be running on the South Shore this morning, Dad and I decided to embark on a trip to Michiana to catch it, along with other trains in the area. We were hoping the further northwest we got, the more color we would run into, but it actually happened to be quite the opposite. That was a bummer, but we decided to make the most we could and see plenty of trains. We got an early enough start that we were able to start outside of the Chicagoland hold along CSX between Teegarden and Walkerton. CSX was fairly busy this morning, and it didnt take long for CSX M370 to come east with a YN2 leader.

an incredibly rare catch for 2021! so glad to see CSX pulling older units and bringing them back to life

Im not even sure how to describe this. What is rarer? 6 units all up front, 6 units elephant style or 4/6 are re vitalized D8s that have been in storage for a few years?

A closer shot of the hopper train

After one last fun day in Dixieland with our cousins, includinga visit to the Titanic Museum and the world famous Comedy Bar, my aunt, grandma, brother set off for Cincinnati where we would stay one more night. But we cant leave the Bluegrass State without a tiny bit of train spotting. First we stopped at Colonel Sanders home town, to not eat chicken, but to view CSXs big Corbin Yard. As you can see by the picture there is a baretable train. an ethanol train. and a grain train ready to get a new crew and head north out of the yard.

Q389
