In footage taken in 1996, the eastbound Capitol Limited departs Connellsville, followed by a westbound autorack train, which stops at VI tower for a crew change, a common occurance at this time.
I think the trains are annoying, just kidding they are great and what would the United States have done without them. My opinion is that they should stop driving all these bug trucks around and start using trains more often, I know that you can't take a train to middle of a town but I think if their was more stations for the offloading of goods. Instead of driving cross country with a 52 foot trailer. I mean they have an engine for each trailer, I don't even need to do the math on that one.
At this time, they were in storage.. now older CSX hoppers take they're place, and VI tower is now not a crew change spot anymore, all re-crews in Connellsville happen at the yards road entrance.
aww man the sound of that sd40-2 takes me back to the time this video was shot when csx still worked where i lived. the golden age
