Viewing Album:  Busy Day
 
By:David Larrabee
Dates:4/29/2007 - 4/29/2007
Album Info:CSX was a couple of years moving the crossovers & signals from Halethrope a mile west to St.Denis. For the regulars on the MARC Platform it was an interesting period. This particular day stood out. Not only were the track crews out in full force but a long Q409 tripped a defect detector and tied up the 'intersection' for an hour or so.. This resulted in a single track railroad with both east and west bound trains piling up. Here is a short synopsys. Of particular note is the East Aspect color position signals in the distance at Halethorpe. /DL
