Empty Key-train CSX K442-26 (Lawrenceville,GA-Chicago,IL/CP) emerges out of the north portal of the Chetoogeta Mountain Tunnel in Tunnel Hill, GA (MP WA-106.7 SE Tunnel Hill) on the Western & Atlantic Sub. With no meets planned the 6100ft long unit train will quietly run north for Wauhatchie for a crew swap. CSXT No 8536 is one of five SD50 series that is still on the active roster for now. In the height of the PSR-Purge the large majority of the 8500, 8600, and 2400 series SD50s got the axe and were retired which isn’t surprising at all coming from “them folks” out of Jacksonville.
Taking a look at the same train and scene as captured by different photographers. The best way to view will be to sort by photo date so the photos are grouped together.
