CSX Q022 rounds the bend at Warren Center. The SD70 leaders in consecutive numbers was a nice treat for sure!!

Midway through, the brakes where put on because the train's cab signal went to restricting. Up ahead at mile post 70, there was a Banner test being performed.

This is courtesy of a friend who is an engineer: "When running on restricted speed, you must be able to stop within half the range of vision. Trainmasters like to put banners or flashing barricades in the middle of tracks around corners, boxcars, blind spots, to test to see if you have control of your train. if you hit it, your fired"

Needless to say, they passed with flying colors.

Mass Central heads north with 14 cars!

Coming back from northern strike is CSX W865 carrying Military equipment from a Training in Michigan.

A friend let me know about this train so I was able to get out in time to see them again!
