| Description: |
A little something from the ConRail camp for a change! Former K940 train, an ID which existed since the late 80's until CSX upgraded our rock trains to Q700-status. |

Q258 w/HLCX 6451 |
| Description: |
This is the kind of consist worth driving somewhere for. I can only help but wonder how many times this locomotive has been in Taft in its former lives. Note the SD45-2 shell. Headlights were recently remounted from nose. |

CSX Q455 Thru Taft Ramp |
| Description: |
Late-running Q455 did something it rarely does, bypassed Taft Yard for Taft Ramp, swinging in at the TOFC signal & running around the loop. This way, they dropped their auto racks on Ramp 4 & only had to pull out into the siding & back into Taft Yard. The tail end of Q178 can be seen to the right of 7333. As of the date of this photo, approx 37 CSX motors were left in CR paint. (NOTE: 12/10-7333 is now in YN3 paint) 7333 is ex-CR 6134 & part of the "dedicated" pool of power that Waycross regularly sends in & out of FL. 7496, third out, already met the paint booth & is ex-CR 6042. |

Short & Sweet Q177 |
| Description: |
A rather short intermodal train zips into Taft. Lately, this is how a lot of our Q177's had been looking. You can see why a 5600' train, as was Saturdays, is remarkable. |

Another CSXT "YN" Variant on Q258 |
| Description: |
I keep hearing how solid sets of spartan cab C40's on CSXT are rare. Not around these parts, they're quite common. The C40-8 fleet boasts numerous "one-off schemes" such as this :-) I always liked the "stealth" look anyway. |

Daylighted Q187 |
| Description: |
2009 has proved to be the year of CSX MOW in Central FL, the month of March leading into April had the north end of the Sanford Sub under curfew, so Q187's call time was adjusted around that. Since 90% of Q187's train has to go to Taft, they didn't reroute it over the S-Line. In the past, when we still also had Q177, they would reroute it. |
