| Description: |
Three helpers that have come back from shoving a train in the mountains patiently wait in South Connellsville to get a signal into the yard. Some switches were fouled up by snow and ice, tying up rail traffic a little bit. Autorack train Q216-07 wraps around the bend. |

Q352 is heading east through South Connellsville after playing in the yard for awhile. CSX 8881 is a former PRR 6073 SD40 built in February 1966. Also a former PC 6073, CR 6991 and CR 6326. Now upgraded with air conditioning, but the crew was staying old-school with the windows open. I don't photograph out here much anymore. Those antenna masts really bug me in my photos. |

CSX 98, 7729, 873, 3245, 7743, 5111, 5438, MMRR 24 L352-18 (2) |
| Description: |
L352-18 is leaving South Connellsville with eight engines- CSX 98, 7729, 873, 3245, 7743, 5111, 5438, MMRR 24 and only seven railcars. I think CSX might be taking a loss on this train today. |

CSX 5441 and 103 |
| Description: |
A mixed freight train (left) and coal train (right) line up perfectly while waiting for their signal to move forward, at the end of the CSX yard in South Connellsville. The rails were congested today, with another train on each of these tracks sitting a few hundred yards up the line. Of note are the B&O era CPL signals still in use here, which is quite a rarity on the Keystone Subdivision. |

CSX 5444 |
| Description: |
Q368-11 sits on Track 2 Main in emergency mode, on the bend between Broadford and West Yough. The train was in the middle of doing a crossover, meaning the 151 car train was occupying both tracks of the mainline when it went into emergency. It resulted in a huge disruption and backlog of trains in both directions, affecting Q276-11, X115-12, Q359-12, Q277-12, Z687-12, Q640-12, and Q138-11, among others. The train was having trouble maintaining air pressure due to a bad valve on one of the railcars. The one causing problems was thought to be the 147th one on the train, almost in back. After isolating that railcar from the braking system, the air brake pressure was brought back up to 87psi and they decided to give a try at restart. The train only moved east less than a mile before a tremendous hissing sound/air release was heard, and an annoying repeating buzzing sound was heard coming across a radio frequency for the EOT device, signaling that the train had went into emergency again. The train stopped almost immediately and once again the search began to find the problem. That took about another hour and by then there were many trains having to sit idle, waiting for this train to get out of the way. By the time the air issue was finally fixed, the crew ran out of hours and so the train had to stop in Connellsville, creating another delay. I suspect it was probably after dark by the time the train made it to Cumberland. |
