Z63515
Title:  Z63515
Description:  While on CSX, the Ashland's train is CSX symbol Z635 (followed by the date, as with ALL CSX symbols) and has to make a reverse move to go from the Westbound Receiving Yard over to their own track. As you can see in the background, the Z635 has a "Restricting" signal for his crossover/backup move. Little did I know that, these units, were built for one of my favorite railroad, the Monongahela Railway. On the MGA the ASRY 2023 was the MGA 2003 and the ASRY 2024 was the MGA 2004. It's really spiffy knowing that these units are still around, as, when they were built, they were the heaviest GP38s built.

Southbound Ashland
Title:  Southbound Ashland
Description:  A fairly decent shot of how lovely the track is north of Salem. The engines are leaning the the left, while the cars are off to the right and everything is sitting at different heights, all that, and this is a straight pice of track that crosses Parcel Road.

Southbound Ashland
Title:  Southbound Ashland
Description:  Again, we get the "royal" treatment with some somke coming from the GP38s. At this point, the track is apparently words better, as he was really cruising across Meyers Road, and for the remainder of the way to Mansfield
