Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX Coal Trains?Date: 04/26/12 08:44 CSX Coal Trains? Author: dstill I thought I read a while back that coal train heading south kept the DPU unit on till Savannah. The reason I ask is I stop by Amtrak Savannah now each time I go to Jax. I usually see a coal train and it does not have the DPU. Both the intermodal and freight yard are south of Amtrak station. Where do they remove the DPU unit, Florence?

If not Hamlet would be my guess instead of Florence. Been awhile since I've been over that way. What is the Jct called where the Hamlet line meets the A Line I cant remember for the life of me.
