CSX could almost double this business without adding a train start if they went ahead with the Howard Street Tunnel clearance project and a couple more minor clearance improvments north of there. Date: 01/05/21 04:29 Re: Fast Intermodal Author: trainnut7 Very, very nice !!!!

Great video! It is reassuring to see priorty traffic being given priority handling. On the scanner yesterday, I heard the dispatcher insist that a track inspector stay clear of track 2 near Hilliard so that Q025 (Chicago-Jacksonville intermodal) could avoid the slow order on track 1. This is only 25 miles from the termination point of a 1,000 mile trip. Delaying UPS and other hot traffic was not an option. Also yesterday (Monday, 1-04-2021), Q032-04 (Jacksonville to New Jersey), 2 locomotives, 72 axles, 1,500 feet long: 68 mph at the MP 619 DD; 69 mph at the Boulogne DD, MP 610 DD; 70 mph at the Newell DD, MP 592. Maybe this hotshot should be called the "Jersey Jackrabbit"? Jay Best Raleigh, NC Date: 01/05/21 17:11 Re: Fast Intermodal Author: jaybest A more refined moniker for Q032 could be the "Jersey Javelin", or to borrow from CSX predecessor B&O, the "New Jersey Trailer Jet".
