Eastern Railroad Discussion > High & Wide Transfer on the Gainesville Midland

While out today waiting on NS's 203 train hich has NS #1800 trailing, see thread below, I rolled over to the Gainesville Midland to see what, if anything I could see, as I was really more in search of a PS 4750 3 Bay covered hopper that I had seen over at Ampro Products in eastern Gainesville earlier this week, but didn't have my camera at the time. As I was trundling eastward, I ran across an interesting movement on CSX.
