CSX 949 Leads Intermodal East | IN-101 Railroad Crossing, St. Joe, IN

Описание: Wednesday, January 7, 2026
I would head back to the crossover at St. Joe just east of town and I see a clear signal for an eastbound on track 1. I set up as I instantly saw headlights as I crossed the tracks. About a minute later, CSX I010 flies east with a pair of CSX ES44AH's at the IN-101 railroad crossing in St. Joe on the Garrett Sub.

This crossing has a pair of newer CSX 2010s gated signals that replaced older 1970s or 1980s Chessie signals. The right signal would have its GE E-Bell reused from the older signal and its top 2 RECO LEDs being replaced with NEG LEDs, while the left signal had its RECO LEDs replaced with NEG LEDs. The left signal actually replaced a 2000s CSX signal that replaced the 70s or 80s signal, and was replaced a couple years ago.

Consist:
CSX I010 (Daily Intermodal) [Bedford Park, IL - North Bergen, NJ]
CSX 949 - GE ES44AH
CSX 3186 - GE ES44AH
