CSX Q409 slowly approaches the SE Screven signal after taking the siding after dropping off 10 or so cars off at Jesup so that they could meet a NB here. Powering the train on this day is the “Hardin Triplets,” CSX’s Spirit engines which honor the armed forces (the 1776; leading), law enforcement (3194; trailing), & first responders (911; mid-train DPU). These engines were the talk of the week after surprisingly being brought out of a year & a half long period of sitting in storage in Waycross after being tagged for “Special Events Only” a week earlier when they were surprisingly assigned to take Q410 north to Selkirk, NY. Not knowing how long they would stay out in service, I made sure to get out & get them while I could when they came back south a week later on 410’s counterpart.
