I went to town to get some diesel for my tractor. The station is next to the CSX double track mainline (former Big 4 - NYC line). As I was finishing up, a 3 engine train roared through town pulling a solid train of brand new loaded CSX coal hoppers. It's been years since I have seen a unit train of coal hoppers on that line. Hopefully that will continue.
That sounds neat... Could you tell if they were loaded? It sounds like they were since you called them coal hoppers.
