CSXT 5271 and 354 (I think) clearing South Clyde at 19:16 with a loaded train for Belle River. Didn't hear any symbols over the radio. It was N84910 with CSXT 5271 and CSXT 324. Here they are crossing Monroe Street in Carleton at 1711. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/pictures/18876/2009-09-12_0289...

Started out in Carleton. 0831: CSXT 7802 accelerates toward the Ash Street crossing as it brings Q15029 sou...
