Interesting how at least one of the gons has clearly been marked for the torch per AAR Rule 90 (interchange prohibited) but there it is, still in service with a foreign road mark (SPSX = Progress Rail Leasing).

CSX hired Clements and Turner from PAR who are now and before the takeover have been in place… not sure why any shipper would be calling on Jacksonville….newpylong wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2022 11:11 am What? CSX has committed (and already begun to expend) more capital into the physical plant in the first 5 years of owning PAR than the Grinch likely spent out of pocket (ie without grant or state subsidies) in its entire 40 year existence.I should clarify, the only thing CSX is interested in is the main line. I do business with several customers who had high hopes for CSX and submitted letters of approval to the STB. None of them are impressed with the new owners. Atleast before they could get an excuse from Bellerica. Under CSX they cannot even get anyone to answer their calls.

These are switches for yard track. They have self guarding frogs with no guardrails. I would say Rigby is where they're going.

CS provides reporting, billing and other admin support but I always had my local rep on speed dial for when “things go bump in the night.” If you’re a big account your rep might assign you an inside sales rep at the HQ again for day to day issue.Then that is interesting. I met Clements when he was new on the RR and was in the field meeting customers. Nice guy, he seemed genuinely concerned with good service, but was hamstring back the lack of the Transportation department being able to follow through.

But maybe that's just a subtlety as CSX being the current employer of PAS personnel is the public face of the operation (I was taken aback a little when I watched a recent video of a 16R crew change at the East Portal of Hoosac Tunnel and the crew were wearing CSX visi-vests boarding an NS leader).
This is on the line to RJ, don't mind the negative spin headline on the page. This channel is always negative.
