If it pleases the crown, the train you witnessed today was CSX's P001, traveling through thy kingdom of Michigan on their way to the kingdom of Chicago. The train was carrying executives of high stature, but certainly none more important than you, your Grace.

Lol thank you for the info. That really is cool! So how often do they run those passenger cars? Where needed?

It goes to different places on the CSX system periodically. It’s been to Michigan 3 times in the last 14 months. Before that, it had been 7 years.

It is not a passenger train per-se. Executive train for the Sir Toppem Hat types that tour the system looking at STUFF. Bosses out of the front office in Jacksonville.
That is all.
