| Description: |
The much-hyped K495-19 empty ethanol train coming off a restart at the Greene Junction signal in South Connellsville, Pa and going west. Traffic was slow going on the CSX Keystone Sub today with ongoing summer track maintenance causing only one track to be open in some areas. Thats why I stay near the yard where more of the action is. Id wished the sun was out for this but it was playing games with me all day long. |

CSX 7345, HLCX 7192, CSX 8068 |
| Description: |
Autorack train Q216-02 going east on Track 2 Main near the South Connellsville Rod and Gun Club. It had just finshed its work in the CSX yard. The power is CSX 7345 (C40-8W), HLCX 7192 (SD40-2), and CSX 8068 (SD40-2). CSX 7345 is former Conrail 6161 built in February 1993. Not long after this the 9000 foot long autorack train would come to a stop at the Bluestone signal in order to wait for the conductor to be brought out. That is when the troubles started. CSX 7345 had a major air leak inside the cab on the engineers side, causing the brakes to not release on the engine. After 2 1/2 hours of talking to the CSX Mechanical Desk in Jacksonville, CSX BB dispatcher in Baltimore, and the Connellsville Yardmaster, a resolution was finally worked out. The locomotive was deemed not repairable by the engineer alone and was to be uncoupled from the train, moved onto Track 4 siding (the track nearest in the photo) and brought back into the yard. Then a helper set coming back west from Sand Patch Grade was going to get on the front of the autorack train for what is called a Double Head move to Cumberland. The mainline being blocked was really screwing up the other traffic, as other trains had to be run around the autorack train. Update: CSX 7345 has since been retired. It is now GECX 7345. |
