CSX had a military movement on the Henderson Sub on Tuesday afternoon, June 9.  The train, W860-07, was south bound and Jim Pearson alerted me to the movement early in the afternoon.  W860 took some three hours weaving it’s way through the track work around Nortonville and I finally caught up with it at Kelly.

Power was a UP and an SP GE pulling a 22 car train of green DODX 6 axle flat cars with a pair of tanks on each car.  The train was moving with some wide load restrictions.

W860 took each siding and when meeting an opposing train came to a complete stop while the passing train was limited to 10 mph.  I have no information as to the source or destination of the movement.  Submission and photos by Chuck Hinrichs
