Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
Same power that was on U302 this morning. They run 4055 on L305 for weeks making them swap the power everyday going east and west to keep 4055 on the rear before finally sending it out, and they send it right back with the same stipulation. Typical CSX.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
Interesting note, in February 2022, 4055 was seen only in the trailing position on the D705 and D706 rotation. Below is a video of mine, at 0:30 and 4:30, 4055 can be seen trailing 5392 on D706-03 and D705-04 respectively. They had wyed the power despite being back-to-back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG373msRfhQ

17:50 - L303 east thru Brighton with 3467 and 4055 leading 43 cars, confirmed by the 184 axles reported at Green Oak. Mostly empty aggregate hoppers after position 15 or so. WAS EE Brighton improved to a clear aspect for L302 once they were off the switch.
