I caught a train with CSX/Conrail power heading down the Toledo Branch today in Columbus around 5:00. Not sure if it turned on at Ridgeway or its origin, but it had 140 brand new CSX coal cars on it numbered 300001-300140 complete with paint stains on the wheels from where they painted the trucks black. I could actually smell the fresh paint on the cars as it went by.
Not sure if anyone else saw this train today or could post any furthur info on it, but I thought it might be worth mentioning. The train turned south thru Scioto Jct and headed towards Parsons Yard, I would assume it was going to continue south down the C&O through Ohio.
