RARE!!! MUST SEE!!!! CSXT Q604 detour due to derailment!!!!

CSXT Q604 of the 25th detoured through Plant City on the Yeoman Sub due to a local freight derailment on its normal Vitis Sub route. This is a very rare move as CSX loves to take a chance with Q604 to stall on the grade out of Winston to the Vitis Sub, and never routes CSXT Q604 through Plant City until this day.

I like it with the rainbow in the background, pretty neat shot.

@ballparkfrank10 Thanks

163 is impressive considering that the hoppers on the head end are loaded, granted most everything following is most likely empty. Still a nice catch.

Amin I hate to say but there was no derailment on vitis sub this day. A local broke down and with amtrak and O710 being ready to head for winston they had to run Q604 via Plant City as the local was at lakeland jct waiting to head for winston yard. The local didnt derail and they would run Q604 to plant city then north but as long as he is and as slow as they have to go they dont run him that way as CSX dont want to back traffic up to long.
