coming to a power plant near you on csx ...

Hi
just to let people know while getting lunch after a morning of leaf raking and mowing CSX had a powder river coal train going east. On the point was an unscathed cnw unit followed by an oakway leaser. my guess is its for first energy over by akron. I was stuck in traffic and had no way of getting a pics[:(]
so good luck to my fellow railfans out there.
stay safe
Joe

There is a recurring movement of Power River coal that is moving to Curtis Bay. MD.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

That's the first time I've heard that description-it fits. Only Milwaukee "Bandits" up until now.
