CSX Charlotte Sub

K 446 15 departs Cherryville siding South (west) to Bostic. CN Leader. 20:55

There is a train/locations, heads up thread, ive been posting Charlotte stuff there both for NS and CSX

With the staff's blessing, my idea for this thread is discussion of and recording traffic on the Carolina - Southeast lines.

I ditched FB over a year ago. FB sells everyone bit of info their users give them to the highest bidder. The one thing I miss from FB is railfan discussions. I'm hoping to bring some of the Carolinas - Southeast lines here.

On that note, a K 429 would follow K 447 north (east) in the early morning hours of 01-19-22. Both are loaded ethanol runs. K447 goes to Toddville (Charlotte West) and K 429 went to Healing Springs. This was on the CSX Charlotte Sub west of Charlotte.

NS 839?

Coal train?

Correct, This must be a new one since Its not on the wiki with all of the train ID’s. It also took the S-Line (or the AS line or whatever it’s called now) and met P84 up at Barber Junction.

The S Line is correct, or the Asheville Dist.

This is interesting.

The last I heard the BL line has been severed between Bulls Gap and Newport. The BL was the cutoff from the S Line (River Line) at Newport to the Appalachia Dist where thge coal loads originated. Perhaps that info was in error.

Do you know if it was loaded or empty. On the N line 800 trains that are loaded have even numbered IDs. On the surface, I'd guess an 839 was an empty.

I need to look in to this.

Thanks for the info.

I do not know if it was loaded or empty, all I know at the moment about this train is that it came out of Linwood, it’s some sort of coal train and it took the S line at CP Spencer. I don’t have any engine numbers either.

3:34 PM: NS 153 requesting Permission to depart Charlotte yard, NS 8102 (PRR heritage unit), 1 more unit and 68 cars after working Charlotte if I heard correctly, they’re holding at Liddell street Mp376.6 for CSX I037-19 to depart Pinoca.

3:51 PM: CSX F793-19 copied his EC-1 between South Holly and Duke, CSX #2206 (road slug) and CSX 6468 and 14 cars.

i037 is either really early or really late.

F 793 made it back to Charlotte, releasing their authority from the NE Duke to the SE Mt Holly around 18:30.

Do you happen to have engine numbers?

Q 653 had a ET44 leader, 3306. Didn't get info about the rest of the power.

8:06 AM: CSX Y102-20 reported by the DD Mp SF317.4, I believe it should be CSX 4080 and 4045 for power, 174 axles, which would equate to 40 cars.
8:13 AM: NS 15R reported by the Five Row signal MP 331.4.

Does 15R usually leave Linwood around 08:00?
