CSX 8027 and 3393
Title:  CSX 8027 and 3393
Description:  Q317-10 going west after getting a train put together in the Connellsville Yard. It is now a rare event when a CSX SD40-2 is leading on a train instead of a GE engine. Under the reign of new CEO E Hunter Harrison, there have been many earth-shaking changes at CSX. This train is one of them. For decades the Q317 and Q316 trains used the Mountain Subdivision from Cumberland to Grafton. Now they get their start and end in Connellsvillle. Other new trains now go through Connellsville as well. Some railroad towns on CSX have not been so fortunate and have seen a decrease in traffic or activity.

CSX 9969
Title:  CSX 9969
Description:  Track inspection/geometry train going west out of Connellsville. The GP40WH-2 is the only locomotive of this type that CSX owns. It is generally only used for this train. The heritage of it is former MARC 69, MARC 32, CR 3051, NYC 3051, and PC 3051 built in July 1967 as a GP40. The door being partly open on this was a slight annoyance for the photo, but I can live with it.
