CSX Detours
Author: sscannella

Grabbed a pair of CSX detours today that have been running between Cumberland and Philadelphia via Hagerstown, MD and the NS Lurgan and Harrisburg Lines.    

First up around 9:30 at CP-CAPTIOL from the 13h St overpass in Harrisburg was M406 with a large cut of trash hoppers on the hind end of over 130 cars.

Around noon I heard the M372 was about 15 miles out of Harrisburg, so I headed back to 13th St for a very short wait before it's arrival.

With close to 160 cars, the M372 was set up with a mid-train DPU, in fact two, including something I don't often see, an SD40-2 in the middle.

Enjoying the variety in Harrisburg while work on the Howard St. tunnel in Baltimore continues.

The industry used to be Harrisburg Cold Storage which I remember from the '90s and early 2000s.   Used to be good for a handful of reefers a week.
