Eastern Railroad Discussion > New Year's Day CSX Action

CSX ran some trains on this beautiful New Year's Day. I caught four trains up and running in the Brunswick, Maryland area. Q217 autorack train came west through Maple Avenue at 12:43 pm. It had two GE's for power. CSX 9006 and 7519 both still in YN2 bright future paint led the train. I did not get a picture but seen the train from the Marc parking lot area. The rest Q136, Q130, and Q416 I was able to get some pictures of. Here are the shots, Gilbert.

First three are of eastbound intermodal Q136-31 led by CSX 3084 and 7327 that stopped at Maple Avenue for a crew change. It departed at about 12:55 pm.

Look, would ya, at that horn on CSXT 7302! Hard to believe.

Nice pictures.

Luke and I saw these same trains at Shennadoah Junction and at Harpers Ferry.. It was a good day as we did not expect any traffic :-)

Thanks for the Pics.. we have some.. but yours are much better.

Were these all taken in the Brunswick area?

Happy New Year

Guy (and Luke)

Yes, all of these were taken just a few yards away from the Marc commuter train station in Brunswick. Cheers, Gilbert.
