The CSX Track Geometry train (symbol W003) heads west down the former Rock Island in Marseilles with GP40WH-2 #9969 in charge. The nicely restored depot in town provided a nice photo op on this sunny, but very hot afternoon. The train is bound for nearby Ottawa and would return east the next morning.
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.
