CSX Q602-13
Description:
Here we see CSX Q602-13, a mixed freight, headed through downtown Mobile with a UP AC4400CW leading the way. Today’s Q602 had all UP power, since CSX made a power deal with UP. They will trade off power in New Orleans, and the reason for this is because CSX has sold so many locomotives that they are having to ask to borrow others, and even taking old engines (like C40-8Ws) out of storage! For us as railfans, this is an amazing opportunity to see the locomotives not common around here on CSX.

NS lashup at NS’s Mobile Yard Office
Description:
I believe this was the power for either NS 55Z or NS 56Z, but cannot be sure. Couldn’t get all 4 locos in photo, because of where I was, but the lead loco, facing opposite where I was, had his headlights and ditch lights on, but was just idling there, not moving.

CSX Q602-13
Description:
Here we see CSX Q602-13, a mixed freight, headed through downtown Mobile with a UP GEVO as the mid-train DPU. Today’s Q602 had all UP power, since CSX made a power deal with UP. They will trade off power in New Orleans, and the reason for this is because CSX has sold so many locomotives that they are having to ask to borrow others, and even taking old engines (like C40-8Ws) out of storage! For us as railfans, this is an amazing opportunity to see the locomotives not common around here on CSX.

CSX Q602-13
Description:
Here we see CSX Q602-13, a mixed freight, headed through downtown Mobile and into the tunnel under the convention center with a UP AC4400CW leading the way. Today’s Q602 had all UP power, since CSX made a power deal with UP. They will trade off power in New Orleans, and the reason for this is because CSX has sold so many locomotives that they are having to ask to borrow others, and even taking old engines (like C40-8Ws) out of storage! For us as railfans, this is an amazing opportunity to see the locomotives not common around here on CSX. Note the writing on the back of UP 6146, “SP 177” which gives away its original identity before UP.

CSX Q521 running light at AKKA
Description:
While railfanning with a couple of my buddies, we decided to go to AKKA (AlaDocks) to see what was there. When we arrived, Q521 was in the midst of a crew change. Right when we got out, CSXT 5472 blew its horn 3 times and began to move backwards. We bolted to the crossing just in time to put up our tripods before the crossing gates activated and 5472 began accelerating. Once we set up tripods, 5472 began blowing for the crossing and rolled through LHF towards the bridge over the Chickasawbouge Drawbridge to get to the siding on the other side where Q521’s train was sitting. The reason for this is because the siding across the bridge is not accessible by foot or by road. Because of this, the train pulls into the siding, the power uncouples from the head end, and then runs across the bridge to tie down at AKKA for the crew change. Once the crew change has occurred, the new crew runs the power back across the bridge, couples up to their train, then runs back across the bridge and into Sibert Yard limits. After the power coupled up to Q521, I got a shot of them running across the bridge from the riverbank in the reeds before they disappeared into the distance.

WP Boxcar at Brookley
Description:
On a CSX train that had been at CSX’s Brookley Siding for over 24 hours, with an obvious issue of some sort, there was a WP Boxcar, something quite odd to see. WP (Western Pacific) was absorbed into the Union Pacific a long time ago, and not much remains from the fallen flag, so it is very rare to see a WP Boxcar, or any railcar for that matter, still with original WP reporting marks.

MSE 64 and TASD 772 at Sibert
Description:
One of the biggest highlights of today!! Mississippi Export (MSE) 64, a shortline that is, as you would guess, Mississippi based. Pretty surprising to see it so far from home! I went around the corner and when I saw MSE 64, I was really struck with awe to encounter it here in Mobile! It seems to have been built in August of 1973, per thedieselshop.us, and used to have what appears to be duel gyralights mounted above the headlights at one period of time. At one point, however, it seems they took it off the engine, but left the mount on it. The mount still being there honestly threw me off and made it look like an ex Southern Pacific with the way the SP light package mounts looked. And the TASD 772 is a rebuilt RP14BD, and used to be an MP15DC lettered “City of Huntsville”. Honestly, I don’t really like that TASD rebuilt the MP15DCs and I ESPECIALLY don’t like that when they rebuild the MP15DCs (excluding TASD 802 “City of Florence”), that they take away the “City of” when they rebuild and repaint into TASD green.

Title:
MSE 64 and TASD 772 at Sibert
Description:
One of the biggest highlights of today!! Mississippi Export (MSE) 64, a shortline that is, as you would guess, Mississippi based. Pretty surprising to see it so far from home! I went around the corner and when I saw MSE 64, I was really struck with awe to encounter it here in Mobile! It seems to have been built in August of 1973, per thedieselshop.us, and used to have what appears to be duel gyralights mounted above the headlights at one period of time. At one point, however, it seems they took it off the engine, but left the mount on it. The mount still being there honestly threw me off and made it look like an ex Southern Pacific with the way the SP light package mounts looked. And the TASD 772 is a rebuilt RP14BD, and used to be an MP15DC lettered “City of Huntsville”. Honestly, I don’t really like that TASD rebuilt the MP15DCs and I ESPECIALLY don’t like that when they rebuild the MP15DCs (excluding TASD 802 “City of Florence”), that they take away the “City of” when they rebuild and repaint into TASD green.
