Chasing KCS/TFM Power leading CSX Q619-06 Part 1 'Southern Fiesta!' 11/6/10

After recieving the Heads Up on this CSX Q619-06 with 3 KCS units and 1 TFM unit leading (w/ the Southern Belle LEADING!) I was determined to catch this train especially since it was only an hour away from home in Augusta. So after leaving work early I was fortunate enough to make it to Salak (Greenwood), South Carolina, located South of CSX's Maxwell Yard, to find Q619-06 waiting at the signals to meet a Q614-06. After Q614-06 enters the yard and clears the Main, Q619-06 starts its journey with a fresh crew down the Abbeville Subdivision.

Next, we catch CSX Q619-06 highballing into Abbeville, South Carolina.

Last, Q619-06 is seen coasting downhill at the South End of Calhoun Falls Siding. This would be the last spot in South Carolina before Q619-06 crosses into Georgia, and this would end Part 1 of the chase!

If I remember correctly, the power on this train came from 2 separate military trains that came to NC, and they combined the power in Hamlet to send them back west.
