CSX-DAN. It was the pickup truck fault. The pickup truck backed up too far over and CSX train with 80 cars hit the backend of the pickup truck which was over the tracks.

Argh! Now I feel old-Conrail's "roots"? I still don't think of Conrail as being around long enough to have roots... Now I'm going to have a warm milk and go to bed-for a week.

CSX has rebuilt most of the line out of Washington DC/Anacostia Yard NE up toward the merge at Hyattsville, College Park MD.  It has been something to watch.  They drove pilings and steel curtains into the ground, then put in the new track.  Pulled up the old one except at grade crossings.  Now they are doing the same thing on the old line.  I am not sure if that is to relay the track for double track or just to shore up the other side of the line.  Every morning when I drove past it was fun to see the whole crew getting their briefing on the work and train schedule and stuff.  I was interested to see that they also do warm up exercises before they set off to work.  The 2 guys that hold the stop/go slow signs must love the warm ups!  It is always the same 2 whenever I went through there, morning or evening.

so i found this one website

www.csx-sucks.com. apparently it was created by an ex CSX conductor who hates the railroad, but he sure does say a lot of things about it. and i want to know just how many of these things he says are actually true

Your friendly neighborhood CNW fan.

CSX-DAN. One of these days they are going to pile a train the way bouncing so much. Hate to be in a engine like the an SD40-2 thur SD80MAC now you are really bouncing around in a engine.

When trains go through at 60mph things in the cab go flying around when you hit a rough spot.
