New track signals added on CSX's Callahan-Baldwin sub at milepost 18.2

New "Darth Vader" signals have been added to guard the south end of the new crossover being added on the Callahan-Baldwin sub at milepost 18.2 just north of the Sandy Ford Road grade crossing.  The crossover and signals are part of the double tracking of the CSX S-line between Callahan (mp 20) and the Crawford siding (mp 15.5). Once in operation, the newly expanded tracks will handle the increase in rail traffic funneled off the CSX mainline at  the Callahan Junction.  CSX has sold their A-line through Orlando to the State of Florida for the new Sunrail commuter train. Since they will not be able to use this main artery during the day, CSX will divert much of their southbound freight trains to the S-line in Callahan which parallels US 301 to Zephyrhills. The red construction cars in the foreground are parked on what will be the new west track of the  S-line.
