 4 CSX engines with CSX locomotive 340 acting as the northern bookend sit idling on the west track of the A-line waiting for the new Darth-Vader track signals just north of Callahan Junction.
A trio of locomotives lead by CSX 5348 pulls a southbound manifest train from the A-line onto the newly upgraded double turnout to the Callahan- Baldwin sub (SM). The double tracking is complete from the Callahan Junction at Milepost SM-20 to the new crossover just north of the Sandy Ford grade crossing at SM 18.1. CSX is already funnelling more trains onto the Callahan-Baldwin sub. Preparations are underway to extend the new double track southward to the Crawford Siding just south of the Crawford diamond (with NS) at SM 15.46.
