CSX 5311 is the DPU on X270. Normally DPUs are mid-train, but this was on the rear.

Amtrak 328 leads P030 eastbound at Shen. P030 met M416 right in front of me. Had I have been using a wider lens, you could have seen the nose of M416.

NS 4001 leads 15T southbound at the Junction.

CSX 854 leads M415 eastbound through Shen. The leader crawled past me, but by the end of the train, it was really moving. All of a sudden, 425 went into emergency.

After 415 went into emergency, the rear stopped in the curve. The crew couldn't get the air to ride correctly, so the conductor rode M371, which was stopped beside it. A car about 30 cars deep in the train was found to be the problem, and the car was isolated from the air line. M415 continued on to Brunswick, MD.

CSX 7229 leads M371 westbound at Shen.

CSX 3367 leads I135 westbound at Shen.

CSX 908 leads coal eastbound.

NS 8184 leads 955 west on the B-line in Manassas, VA, on the way back from the Masters back to the barn in Altoona, PA.

NS 8184 leads 25A through Delaplane, VA, westbound on the B-line.southbound at the Junction.

NS 4323 is the DPU on 15T, southbound at Cedarville, VA.

As I am standing on the new road bridge at Cedarville, I look down at one of the old crossing signals. Would have expected NS to remove them after the road was cut..
