Advantage of CSX being so close to work...CSX Veteran's unit
Author: Forever-Railfan-45

CSX 1776 leading B157; taken from the Route 18 (Market Street bridge) in Akron,Ohio. My place of employment is just about half mile from here. The sun actually found a hole in one of the clouds to start my shift off right. Thanks for looking...

Nice shots!  Looks like a neat place to railfan.  Do you know the train count there?

It varies but the following traverse the line: I137, I138, M216, M217, various empty/loaded loaded coal,ethanol, grain trains. Back in the 1990's and 2000's IIRC this Newcastle Subdivision saw up to forty trains a day. EL833 would be the one to ask...

Today the New Castle Sub sees 20 trains per day.  You can sit for hours and see nothing.........
