Eastern Railroad Discussion > Hyattsville CSX Action and Extension UpdateDate: 09/21/14 19:38 Hyattsville CSX Action and Extension Update Author: GP35 Thought to share some Washington, D.C. area CSX action from the Hyattsville, Maryland wye. These pics are from today this beautiful Sunday September 21, 2014. I have a total of 7 trains to share that I caught from 10:25 am til 12:25 pm. Not too bad for a Sunday late morning at the wye. I will also include some freight car pics for the modelers out there. Also I will include some more progress on the double tracking project going on along the old B&O Alexandria Extension from JD to Jones Hill siding. Not too much more progress but I have some to report on. Anyway I hope everyone will find the following pictures interesting to view, Gilbert.
First pic is of eastbound intermodal L138-19 led by CSX 7904 and 5006 on # 2 track at JD 10:25 am. 248 axle count. Next two pics are of eastbound autorack L226-19 led by NS 6912 and 2623 on # 1 track at JD 10:44 am. 264 axle count.

Next two pics are of westbound empty SCWX coal train U306-17 led by CSX 3161 and 93 coming up the west leg of the wye at 11:33 am. 452 axles for count.

I do not condone graffiti but this RBOX boxcar is interesting.
   Date: 09/21/14 19:52 Re: Hyattsville CSX Action and Extension Update Author: GP35 Next two were taken at Tanglewood drive along the extension. Not too much more progress so far.
Bottom pic is the ballasted deck bridge over the Northeast Branch of the Anacostia River along the extension looking toward the wye at JD.    Date: 09/21/14 19:54 Re: Hyattsville CSX Action and Extension Update Author: GP35 Top pic a side view of the bridge.
Next two were taken at Jones Hill at the 52nd Avenue crossing in Bladensburg, Maryland.    Date: 09/21/14 19:55 Re: Hyattsville CSX Action and Extension Update Author: GP35 One last pic looking toward the future Tuxedo interlocking at Jones Hill. Not too much more going on here so far.
Hope you enjoyed, Gilbert.  Date: 09/21/14 20:14 Re: Hyattsville CSX Action and Extension Update Author: Benched_it That Mers, Ryoe car (RBOX boxcar) is awesome! Mers does some incredible stuff and

That is pretty slick. Graffiti nonetheless, but still slick. Date: 09/22/14 13:48 Re: Hyattsville CSX Action and Extension Update Author: ns1000 GOOD stuff...!!! Thanks for posting.
