CSX FAN General Nice shot there! Only CSX in Erwin, no NS. 4/9/2013 11:47:55 PM
Tim Keegan General Thank you I appreciate the compliment on the picture. This is a normal manifest out of Knoxville but for some reason was diverted to Erwin and had to return. When they came into the yard the dispatcher had the switcher waiting and plucked a few cars off of this train, added a few others that were reaady, did a Class 1 terminal brake test and sent it back to Erwin within an hour or so. I'm not sure what the reasoning was behind this but they sent them back that way minus two engines. This particular train only had 27 cars when they came in. If anyone can figure out the reasoning why I would like to know. My guess is track work or something of the sort. 4/10/2013 5:35:59 PM
CSX FAN General Could have been a reroute. I have noticed that there have been a couple of odd train numbers on CSX here in the past few days. Diverted back to Erwin, TN to take down to Spartanburg, SC to interchange with the NS. 4/10/2013 10:43:35 PM
