Album Info:CSX has been rapidly replacing the former Conrail Era Trilight Signals along the Indy Line, so I figured it was well worth a visit to the much busier Greenwich Subdivision for my yearly birthday trip to document the signals along it. Despite being in no danger yet, it never hurts to document before its too late. Enjoy!

BNSF 8199
Title:  BNSF 8199
Description:  With the recent eradication of trilight signals along the CSX Indianapolis Line Subdivision between Marion, OH and Union City, OH, I have been in search of getting as many of these late 80s early 90s installment signals as possible. While in no danger yet, the signals along the much busier Greenwich Subdivision were the target of this years birthday trip. I got up early in the morning and started my 2 1/2 hour journey east to Greenwich where I would try to get every single pair of signals between Greenwich and Berea. It began to get light before I ended up getting to CSX, however, and when I crossed over the NS Sandusky District on US 30 at Bucyrus I noticed NS 277 parked underneath the bridge with a pair of BNSF units. I decided to not let that go to waste and quick grabbed a shot of the train before continuing to CSX at Greenwich.

WE 7024
Title:  WE 7024
Description:  When I got to Greenwich things were quiet on both CSX ends. But, I heard CSX Z577, aka Wheeling 237 for Willard, asking for permission onto CSX rails at New London. About 15-20 minutes later the train coasted around the bend from the Greenwich Sub onto the Willard Sub. A nice start to a full day of trilights!

CSX 5110
Title:  CSX 5110
Description:  CSX I168 was next coming off the Willard Sub. The light snow and fog the area got in the morning sure made for a nice scene with the duel trilights!

CSX 825
Title:  CSX 825
Description:  CSX I135 sits shy of Alpha Road outside of Greenwich on the New Castle Subdivision. Another train would pull up beside it but I opted out on waiting for it and headed for New London for the next pair of trilights.

CP 8615
Title:  CP 8615
Description:  I166 follows close behind I158. I moved down to Rochester for it. Interestingly enough the signal that was on the left has been replaced with a very tall vader intermediate. I will admit that made for an interesting frame compared to the much shorter trilight on the right.

CSX 3153
Title:  CSX 3153
Description:  CSX M364 crosses the diamond with the Wheeling Hartland Sub in Wellington passing underneath the cantilever. Conrail replaced the cantilever and bridges here way back in the 90s. Aluminum poles and trilights dont seem to match but at least there are trilights up there and not vaders.

WE 7004
Title:  WE 7004
Description:  The Wheeling 708 power for that evening was set out on the wye outside the Lorain County Fairgrounds so I decided to go down and grab a few roster shots of the power. An ex-CEFX blue leaser was included, one of a handful of them.

CSX 3185
Title:  CSX 3185
Description:  CSX M367 heads west under the signal bridge west of the diamond with the Wheeling. Once again, not the original bridge, but I will take the trilights over vaders.

CSX 865
Title:  CSX 865
Description:  Then finally after a near two and a half hour wait, M368 breaks the silence and comes east with a 1x1 pair of GEVOs. For a line that sees about 40 trains in 24 hours I didnt expect to have a lull this long, and with it getting close to dark at this point I knew there was no way I was making Berea.

CSX 6143
Title:  CSX 6143
Description:  After I157, things got very quiet again and I never heard another train on the Big 4 until I began heading back home. Regardless I went into Grafton anyway. An extra L323 (U323) was sitting at the diamond on the B&O branch waiting to go north there. The diamonds are guarded by trilights on all sides. Unfortunately I could not find a good place to park quickly enough to get a clear shot with the trilight signal before they took off, so this was all I got.

CSX 6143
Title:  CSX 6143
Description:  Thankfully some nice code line was along the tracks here as well which made for a good going away shot. Only 16 moves today, but regardless, it was still a good birthday trip and I still got good documentation!
