CSXT empty hoppers
- 9 years ago
CSXT empty hoppers head west soon after Amtrak P067 went east. An SD70MAC and a GEVO are the power for this train. The horn wasn't too loud. Listen to the way this guy accelerates as he goes by!

Also of note, you'll only see it for a couple of seconds, but there is a set of colorlight signals for both directions on this section of single track. If you pause the video, you can see a much shorter C&O-style signal next to the much taller and newer mast signal. Both only come on when the train comes. Notice the light turns off after the last car passes. All I can say is at least they decided to stick with the old C&O tradition of putting the red on the top and the green on the bottom on the new signal! :)
