Eastern Railroad Discussion > Switcher Saturday - ABC 1501Date: 01/11/19 23:34 Switcher Saturday - ABC 1501 Author: refarkas It is January 5, 2019 in Akron, Ohio, and Akron Barberton Cluster 1501 has left its own tracks and is eastbound on CSX as CSX train Z640. She will leave CSX near the old Firestone plant and switch some industries there.

of the National Starch Co., mostly hoppers of grains and corn inbound. The National Starch lead goes downgrade to the plant so #1501 would've had quite a pull moving the milled products outbound. |
