Eastern Railroad Discussion > Looking for S Line info on CSX. Florida

Can anyone provide info as to why there is a string of Auto Racks parked on the #2 track in LaCoochie ? They have been there about 2 weeks and there are cables (hose) going to them from a gray box in the ground. Thanks in advance

LaCoochie FL is in Pasco county, North of Tampa. Former Seaboard line.

I don't believe Tampa does any / much auto shipping.

The yard in Tampa may not have had room for them. They will hold cars out in Plant City (north of the diamonds) and Lacoochee at times and then a Southbound picks them up when the yard has space. The gray box may be to keep the air lines primed for a quicker add-on.

Yep that's what you call spotted on air.....if that's a regular hold out point it does not surprise me there is a source of air....
