A776 w/CSXT 5966
Title:  A776 w/CSXT 5966
Description:  Variety is back on CSXT consists without the assistance of leasers. There was a time when you said "engine CSXT ****", there were a good number of paint schemes it could be. The recent addition of ex-NS nee-CR B40's added a few that had been repainted in NS colors, then amended for CSXT giving them a "quasi-CRR" (WofA or A&WP for that matter) look. An easy "heritage" unit if they wanna slap "Clinchfield" on the hood! Sunlight illuminates the CSXT road number on cab.

Head To Head
Title:  Head To Head
Description:  No "Golden Spike" moment here. O682 comes up from Tampa & heads around the south leg of the wye in Taft & usually encounters Q255's power tied down there. SO, they have to couple up & shove them as far down as necessary to clear up & back around the north leg of the wye to get running back southward to Tampa, setting off in Taft Yard. This particular moment took upwards of 20 minutes. For a crew with only three more hours to work, that's a mighty long time.

CSXT O682
Title:  CSXT O682
Description:  Elusive Tampa-Winston-Taft turn at the north end of Taft siding northbound. When it first started running in the late 90's it was Q682 following Q188 from Tampa, but was later changed to "O" as the "Q" symbol classified a Waycross-oriented job better & is usually out of Tampa around 0300hrs. Lately, it has been very tardy & running close on hours of service.

Description:  Quite literally, this is image #6412 on the camera's counter!! What's more, the conductor has known me since I was a teenager way back in the 80's. A032 is headed to Tampa passing A779 in Taft. A032 was to have more cars out of Sanford, but the local had blocked them in.
