Waiting at QN - a photo on Flickriver

Waiting at QN

            CSXT Q415 cools it's heels at QN Tower on #2 track, May 27, 2001. A storm is quickly approaching and soon will commence to dumping rain along with dramatic lightning and thunder.

Washington DC's Red Line Metro runs to the right of the power here up on the concrete ramp. Franklin St NE is on the overpass in the left background.

At this point in time, practically all CSX trains to and from Richmond VA had former Conrail SD60s and 60Is in the lead due to the units coming into the recent merger equipped with cab signals which were a requirement for all trains operating over the RF&P Subdivision. The exception to the former CR units was the fleet of GE AC6000 locomotives purchased new by CSX which were also equipped with cab signals but the AC60s, as they were known, were usually assigned to the priority intermodal trains.
