Eastern Railroad Discussion > Indy derailmentDate: 01/18/22 11:37 Indy derailment Author: Lkirts Date: 01/18/22 11:44 Re: Indy derailment Author: toledopatch Looks rather collision-y to me. It's obviously out at AV. Does CSX use remotes for the west end pull-down jobs?

JB Date: 01/18/22 14:00 Re: Indy derailment Author: MEKoch Probably a remote engineer on a shove move. Wham - bam - thank you ma'am!

That's why I asked if CSX uses remotes in that part of the yard, but I didn't want to make that assumption. The lead locomotive does appear to have the remote beacons on it.

Posted from iPhone Date: 01/19/22 04:26 Re: Indy derailment Author: BigDave So, three trains involved? The yard job (SD-40-2's), the train on the lead (with the autoracks), and the container train to the side?
