At dusk we get up close an, person with CSX Q580-07 (Greenville,SC-Nashville,TN) which is tied down on the main 1 track just outside of Wauhatchie Yard (MP J-147.0 Lookout). CSX is suffering from a major crew shortage as a result of a lot of employees being furloughed back at the starting of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Skip almost a year later in the third quarter of 2021 the freight volume is starting to return which mean a lot of dwell for freight traffic not only on the eastern route of the Southeastern Corridor but, all over the system triangle. Q580 will be waiting for a while til an outbound crew goes on duty to take the freight north for Radnor Yard. If things don't change you'll continue to see parked freight throughout the system.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
