Today, I had a little time to kill, so I spent about 2 hours (in 2 different periods) just watching what went past on the CSX water level route through western New York. Here's what I saw:
1 consist of only trash cars, heading west, full.
1 consist of oil tankers, heading west, looked and sounded empty.
1 consist of car-carriers headed west, looked like most of them were full, but not all.
1 consist of reefer cars headed east, most likely headed to Hunt's point, likely full.
1 consist of double-stacked containers and piggy-back trailers (about 50%-50%) headed west.
Not one single mixed freight or boxcar train. If I'd waited, at least 1 Amtrak should've gone by, but they must've been running late today, like any other day..
I wonder what goes by others on other mainlines today?
