In addition to the Q190/Q191 trains that CSX has been running from North Jersey to Philadelphia via the CSX Trenton Line and NS Morrisville and Harrisburg Lines, L156 has made the trip down to Philly the last two Mondays. Due to congestion at Abrams yard, the crew was instructed to break up the power and put the train into a push-pull configuration at CP King so that it could run south without any work in the yard. CSX 8730 sits on the main as CSX 7340 backs up from CP Plymouth to attach to the rear of the train. |
