Eastern Railroad Discussion > first CSX K002 crude oil train to South Jersey

Until Wednesday, all Bakken crude had been delivered to Westville by NS 64W. The first CSX K002 arrived Wednesday, having been pulled by two NS engines to Conrail's Oak Island Yard in North Jersey, where two UP engines off CSX Q300/301 were added to supplement the power after one of the NS engines suffered a malfunction.

This would explain the return of the K002 train ID.

What are the transit times of K002 vs 64W? I assume the CSXT train travels via Selkirk.

Thank you in advance.

The train was K002-13. It arrived Westville on Feb 18 via Selkirk.

I was wondering about that, too. K002 used to be the New Brunswick train via Pan Am Railways before bad track in Maine shut that route down.

I wonder if the empty will go west over Sandpatch or return by by of Selkirk?
