Tank train taking the switchover from Norfolk Southern to CSX's shortline. They have just had a crew change. The first time I had seen this track used in almost 8 years of visiting Berea. Normally used for storing MoW equipment overnight, this track was far more frequently used in the Conrail era.
BNSF 5782 is the leader on this oil can headed to Hayti, Mo. Currently rolling down the main in Old Monroe, Mo. on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. passing some MoW equipment thats sitting on the house track.
