Being that I live in monroe once served by the seaboard air line rr,now csx.The crews hate the mixing of stack trains with mixed freight trains.Thou I do mind the crews do more work.And I can see their point.2 men crew to switch out cars and pick up boxcars.On what could be a train that may be a half mile to a mile and a half long.Yea thats asking a lot of a man.And you still get trains jammed up between monroe and hamlet and charlotte.I have family that live near csx yard in charlotte nc.Seen a train that had 7 locomotives including a mother and mate set.That has become very rare in my neck of the woods.The others where sd70 cw44s another sd70 and a sd40-2.
