CSX 7622 and 7572 |
Description: |
At least for one day, CSX train Q388 turned back the clock and used a pair of C40-8 standard cabs in YN2 paint. It is hard to get one engine in this paint now, let alone two. The snowfall was from a few days ago, but melting fast. Little did I know, CSX would retire their C40-8 fleet a year later in 2017. |

CSX 42 with four others |
Description: |
Q388-22 is using Track 1 Main to run around the Q394 train that was snowed in for lack of a better word. This train would stop right next to it for a while, in order for CSX to figure out what the next move would be in this blizzard. Lots of clearances, communications with management in high places, and organizing of plowing equipment miles ahead in the mountains had to be done first. |

Description: |
A pair of ES40DC helpers are heading east under the signal bridge near the Amtrak station in Connellsville to assist on a Q388-22 train. These two engines are in for a big adventure when they go up into the mountains. In fact it looks like they already had one. This has been the largest 24-hour snowstorm even Ive seen in my lifetime here. We got approximately 2 1/2 feet of snow since yesterday. The city is at a standstill but the railroad is still finding ways to move some trains. |

CSX 3148, 436, 671 on train Q394-22 have been here in Connellsville since January 23 when the blizzard was going full throttle and have no where to go due to heavy snow amounts at Cumberland Yard in Maryland. So every train coming through has had to run around it on Track 1 Main. Note how far up the snow is on this signpost here. |
