CSXT Q740
Title:  CSXT Q740
Description:  Okay, this is strange. Normally Q740 is thru here between 2:00 and 3:00 PM, but here it is at 12:50 PM! This guy and his southbound counterpart five minutes earlier most likely met in nearby Ashland. He came through at about 35 miles per hour.

Ex-C&O Piedmont Sub
Title:  Ex-C&O Piedmont Sub
Description:  The "East Diamond" signals are red on the other side, so nothing is coming soon. This line is used mostly by westbound empty coal and grain trains, with some locals and rock (loaded and empty) mixed in. This line is not very active for the most part.

CSXT Q767
Title:  CSXT Q767
Description:  Very unusual train movement here. Not only does the Dash 8 leading have a Leslie RS5TRRO horn, they're running an empty rock train to the quarry on a SATURDAY! The speed limit on this line is 25 miles per hour, but a 10-mile-per-hour slow order was in effect. BLAAH!
