Wouldn't you know...literally 15 cars after the head end passes, the clouds cleared and this spot was bathed in fantastic light. Oh well, the overpass in Callahan, FL is still a wonderful place to watch the action!

In Callahan, FL, this southbound CSX coal load is crossing over from Main One to Main Two. Main One has track work on it going on and all trains in both directions are using Main Two.

At Folkston Junction in Folkston, GA, two sets of CSX main tracks converge on the journey south toward Jacksonville. Here, a pair of AC4400CW's leads this coal train through the junction heading for a Florida power plant.

CSX's Nahunta Subdivision north of Jacksonville, FL has two main tracks. Here, both are being well utilized as the northbound in this shot meets a southbound that is visible off in the distance.

A southbound CSX mixed freight approaches County Road 121 in north Florida (less than two miles from the Georgia border). The train will pass through Moncriet Yard in Jacksonville before continuing south.

I didn't realize this before going to Jacksonville for the first time, but CSX headquarters are actually in Jacksonville! Here is the front of their headquarters. Their dispatch center is located right here as well.

A standard cab GE unit straight out of the 1980's! GE's C40-8 competed with EMD's SD60s about 25 years ago. Here, a CSX-painted C40-8 helps out the HLAUDEN as it prepares to depart the Broomfield siding south toward Denver.

At the east entrance to BNSF's 31st Street Yard, the Lincoln, NE to Denver manifest (HLINDEN) had a CSX GP40-2 in the consist. We don't see CSX units in Colorado too often, and this is definitely the first four-axle power from CSX I've seen!

Something of a rare appearance here in Colorado was made by this CSX SD70ACe. The unit was part of the consist on the HLAUDEN on BNSF's Front Range Sub. The train was stopped and tied down on the siding at Broomfield. This particular unit is headed for home after being tested by Montana Rail Link for several days.

Two CSX "Dark Future" ES44DCs help to power a loaded unit pipe train west on the Moffat. These GEVOs are less than three months old and it was a rare treat to see them so far from their home. Unfortunately, I was stuck with some rather awful back-lighting...

The "CSX" on the side of CSX 8828 looks more like just "CS" at this point. Leaking oil has done a pretty good job of obscuring much of the engineers side of the unit. Rebuilt from an SD40, the unit currently wears the so-called "Dark Future" paint scheme.

On a very wet, rainy afternoon in September, I came across an unexpected visitor at BNSF's 38th street engine house. A CSX ES44DC wearing the "Dark Future" scheme was getting soaked in the down pour.

CSX 50 is stopped at Ulster street, waiting for 36th street to grant permission for this coal empty to pass through the yard. It was quite a treat to find a train with pure CSX power, even if it was only two units!

An SD70MAC (phase 2 - note the flared radiators) was the third unit on the empty sulfur train on this Sunday. The train was stopped at Broomfield to wait for a southbound that was, at the time of this picture, just south of Fort Collins!
