CSX-Oak Point/Fremont

Figure on Roadswitchers demoted to yard power,Should be a few rigged for ACSES to work locals in MN /Amtrak (hellgate) territory

Q701 had an SD40-2 8814 in the lead last night on Metro North with a really long cut of freight including a lot general cars including propane, lumber, and Sheetrock for the Bronx.

Thanks Freightguy, how many cars per day is CSX typically bringing down to Oak Point Yard these days? I moved out of NYC in 2017 and I am wondering how much of an increase there's been.

I would say the garbage and C&D is at the forefront, but I guess with people making home improvements a huge surge in lumber heading to Long Island also. The Brookhaven Rail Terminal had over 100 cars in it today.

Today’s CSX inbound had a pair of new M9 cars on the tail-end.

I've noticed the M9s come down on Wednesdays.

Lots of switching for todays CSX outbound. Lite power arrived to the head-end of the train around 9am. They completed their train around 10am. Here's what happened:

Setout the first two boxcars on the siding
Setout 4 cars of empty Centerbeams onto the siding
Setout about 4 cars of empty gondolas onto the siding
Rejoined the cut of mixed freight onto the rest of the train towards the end, keeping the MSW/loaded C&D up front

Seems CSX doesn't like the general freight mixed with the MSW

On SB trip this am spotted Oak Point bound freight stopped with head end near University Heights, approx. 6:20 am on track closest to river. On return it was stopped with head end at Lincoln Ave crossing 7:15 am.

Caught NYAR heading Lite back to FP after dropping the CSX outbound 5/20 7am

CSX heading north to Oak Point at 1pm today with a SD40-2 leader. Yesterday caught the southbound around 10:30am.
