yep..thats Q139...CSX2665 has some videos with a train like this one..that mixed freight was picked up from acca yard in richmond..while the train itself just origined at Portsmouth VA ..great video by the way
That's what I suspected it was; I had read about CSX looking for ways to consolidate trains. Kinda harkens back to the era when you could still see piggyback mixed in with general freight like that.
@FastFlyingVirginian you're talking about conrail mixed freighters...the SEAL,ALSE were one of the many trains that carried piggyback in between the freight
OLD dude? Relative to you, maybe...but I still got a ways to go before I join the AARP crowd. Actually now that I think about it, Lawrence Welk COULD bring the funk...

Good video, I've caught this train myself several time lately with the mixed freight. Makes it worth catching now.

When did they make the change? It was just back at the beginning of November when I last saw it handled by a single AC6000.
