Eastern Railroad Discussion > Where are CSX Q409/410?

This pair of low priority CSX carload freight trains was regular in my area running between Seklirk and Waycross, one of the longest carload freight runs on CSX. They ran the direct route....River Line thru Jersey DE and MD over the old RFP down the ex-ACL to Jessup and Folkston. Worked 4-5 places enroute. I have not heard them in my mid-Atlantic area for two weeks. If on-time they are usually early to mid AM trains but I have not heard them. Even tho CSX is running a lot better than last spring it is hard to believe a few trains were not late. Have they been re-routed to Ohio and the B&O to DC (the usual River LIne trackwork re-route) or to using ex-CRR/LN routes thru the mountains to Georgia and Waycross?

Still listed as running Daily

Rerouted as R410  and R409 through Ohio.

Due to the enormous amount of trackwork on the Trenton Line.

OK, which route do they take from 'Ohio' to Waycross, several are available, thanx. Any repoprts with accurate consists?

They go Selkirk to Buffalo, Buffalo to Ashtabula, Ashtabula to New Castle, then east on the ex B & O then somewhere it gets back on its route.

R409 and R410 are being routed through Cumberland and and Sand Patch.

Yes, east of New Castle PA it goes on the Sand Patch.
