10 Minutes With CSX Q409

CSX Q409-31 is westbound passing through Riverdale Park ,MD. This train is proceeding on a yellow signal which accounts for the slow speed of the train. Lead by CSX SD70MAC #4756 and CW44AC #325 this train is 112 cars. Many of these are various types of flat cars which significantly extend the lenghth of this train. From start to finish it took over 12 minutes to clear the grade crossing here on Queensbury RD.

wow csx thinks two engines can handle everything

[bubba2781]

They really seem to think so. Unless they are just shuttling power most train in this area including loaded coal trains have only 2 locomotives.

I live in rocky Mount and I see Q409 every night going into the yard there !!!!! This train was very long for any Q409 that I've seen and they usually have about 125 cars
