What we have here is an aborted run of the OCS to Saint Petersburg heading back to Jacksonville, meeting a monster M453 heading south, thus bypassing the famous street running. Silver linings playbook rule #101: one door closes, another opens. Waiting on the north side of the diamond is FNOR waiting for their chance to head south thru Ocala....which involves street running.... Later in the day, M453's counterpart coming north with 13K feet of train had a separation on the Wildwood Subdivision....wouldn't the execs have loved to see THAT?
CSX has diverse passenger operations that include office car specials, trips to major events like the Kentucky Derby, track geometry trains and the annual Santa Claus train over the northern section of the fallen flag Clinchfield Railroad.
