A user in NC got a 254-car manifest. Sure beats any Q335 or Q321 I've kept track of!

Dunno about the record, but trailing #441 is a new repaint for us
Re: Largest CSX Train Recorded? 1,034 axles.
That train would be more than 2 1/2 miles long. How do they keep air on a train that long? I feel kinda sorry for the carman.

Re: Largest CSX Train Recorded? 1,034 axles.
Dispatchers bulletins for both CSX's Garrett & Willard subs have restricted trains to 1,022 axles or less due to trains longer than that causing issues with the DED/HBD's. Q324 (Chicago to Toledo Stanley) bumps up against that limit on a frequent basis. I have not seen one yet, but Q561 out of Toledo Stanley for Cincinnati & Louisville is supposed to be another one that runs big on a regular basis.

It was Q471-30 (Rocky Mount, NC - Hamlet, NC). The train had 105 loads and 149 empties.

There for a while. We were running the 195 out of Portsmouth to Bellevue 200+ cars. They finally cut back some after someone got 3 knuckles at Valley Crossing.

Back before the axle restriction was placed, one time did Q324 run with 297 cars earlier in the summer.
I'm just here to put in time claims and complain
