Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX Trains in the Winter Storm

Pretty much been getting snow/sleet/rain all day today and that is the best reason to get trackside. I live right next to the CSX CE&D sub so it's easy to go down the lane and set up shop. I am 20 miles north of the VR Princeton, IN camera if anyone has been watching it today.  Whoever said that weather like this isn't fit for man nor beast doesn't know railroading. ;)
First up is I128 coming north. Notice how the front wheel is kicking up some ice spray as it pulverizes the ice on the rail. The snow/sleet really picked up as I128 was passing.

Next up is a empty grain train rolling north in the heavy snow/sleet:

Next is M501 who was in Alice siding making their pick up in the yard. When the grain train passed M501 was ready to come south so I hung out and caught him in the driving snow. The pick up was on the rear of the train.

Nasty weather out there! No drone today. Neat seeing the "pulverized ice".
This stuff is supposed to hit is here in the Mid-Atlantic states in the morning. My location will probably just get side-swiped witha 1" nuisance snow.
Thanks for going trackside.

Good stuff Brian. I went out awhile mid afternoon, but it was dead around here. all I got was the track inspector going "up" the Monon.
