    CSX filed with the STB to deactivate and remove all signals along the Cowen Sub / A&O. When that get approved, CSX CI in Jacksonville will also no longer be on the other end of the phone for the A&O, either. (self-dispatching)

    Coal empties head west thru Tunnel 14, about to enter Tunnel 15, in the area known as South Draw: The hike to this point is about 3 miles...
