Eastern Railroad Discussion > CN units leading CSX grain south on A-Line toward N.C.

HEADS UP south along the A-Line, southbound from Richmond, Virginia:


This morning, CANADIAN NATIONAL units 5732 and 5650, back to back, and CSXT 3264, facing toward the rear, led a long grain train out of Richmond, Virginia's Fulton Yard just about a half-hour before NS V24 departed for West Point on the line below. The grain grain, with all AEX covered hoppers, began rolling through Rivanna Junction at 4:28am - and as this is being typed this train is likely near or already by Collier Yard, heading south toward Rocky Mount, N.C.  As for the train itself, the first car (for anyone wishing to trace the move) was AEX 26154. Back in the consist are two others of interest: AEX 26184 has a small Union Pacific shield logo, and AEX 25488 has a "FARMLAND" logo.


Heads up along the A-Line toward North Carolina, for this move.
