med-train.. Thanks for a great shot. I think its the coolest thing seeing CSX power on the FRRR, plus!... look at all those cars!
One of these days i'll get my butt out there to take shots as well. Any idea when they might do any ethanol move?

I think its the coolest thing seeing CSX power on the FRRR, plus!... look at all those cars!The ethanol cars have been going out on a fairly regular basis, about 10 to 20 at a time. The FRR local is now scheduled to operate from Lockport to Brockport servicing the Medina Ethanol plant M-W-F; formerly they ran on Monday and Thursday. As business increases additional runs may operate.

Corn trains are picked up by FRR crews at Junction Road on CSX just west of Lockport and taken to the plant for unloading which takes about 11-12 hours, trains are supposed to move right back to CSXT, but holiday vacations have stabbed the first 3 corn trains as has been noted earlier. The corn trains operate on the FRR with the same CSX symbol i.e.: G334.
