CSXT 6142 (GP40-2) leads a 140 car Y129 west through the southeast side of Indianapolis, Indiana. Gotta love some EMD and NYC G Head signals!
A loaded rock train rolls west through Brunswick, MD. This train likely loaded at Milville,WV on the Shenandoah Sub and is bound for a rock yard in the Washington DC area.
Local power sits tied down with a Conrail bay window caboose in the yard at Marion.

Morning westbound Q383 rolls thru McKeesport. The 1905 building in the background was part of US Steel's National Tube Plant.
216's autoracks gracefully arc through Somerset county farm country. Highway construction in this area has greatly diminished the bucolic nature of this scene.
Like so many other CPLs on CSX, this pair has been replaced with standard new CSX signals.
W001 has traversed three of the four grades on the West End, only a descent of Newburg Grade remains.
Normally pulled by one locomotive, CSX's geometry train highballs west with two units at Dawson. Perhaps the second unit is in deference to the arduous grades found on the West End.
Not much of a train for railfans, this very short local scoots northbound with just a single boxcar bookended by a pair of geeps.
The waiting game has just begun for D749. Four eastbounds and two westbounds will pass before 749 can get out of McKees Rocks.
D749's conductor protects the Nichol Ave. crossing as 6142 begins to work McKees Rocks Forgings.
