    A southbound revenue freight came through this evening...at 50 mph Track Speed!!!!

    It was led by #2707. (Obviously not my photo...!)

    I missed the second loco's number.

    What was so great was how smooth it went by, no track noise, rocking, banging and such.....

    Hats Off to CSX Track Repair Crews!!!! :cool: [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Turns out that the train was an interchange with KCS. The locos dropped the cars at the KCS yard in downtown Gulfport and came back by as a deadhead. This time I caught the trailing (now leading) unit's number....5530, a B30-7.

    Looks like they'll meet their predicted February 1st line re-opening date!
