At least CSX is doing to get this track a bit improved.It is probably affecting 449 more as the work are is usually only in effect during the day, from about 730a to 530p or so. By the time 448 gets in the area they are done for the day. Over all the delay is probably not that bad considering the other delays it can face on CSX.
