It comes through DC on the Metropolitan Sub then into MD. It then goes down the Alexandria branch back through DC, over the 14th St bridge and into VA.
You are correct up to the point he switched over onto the west leg of the wye. Really he starts to go south at this point but since south is west and north is east in CSX land and since the train has an odd number it is considered a westbound train. Screwed me up for awhile.
i cant believe those 80MAC's were heading 2 rocky mount yard!!!!

i wonder who would win that tug of war SD80MAC or AC6000?

An AC6000CW is basically a ramped AC4400CW & a SD80MAC is basically a ramped up SD70MAC.

Nice! I was north of Augusta, GA this weekend, and CSX was using an AC6000CW for helper service...it was weird seeing one of them running light.

Good video there bubba2781. The SD80MAC engines could've be in the front instead of the AC60CWs. But AC60CWs are my favorite engines.
