T849 (Ceredo River WV-Middletown) |
| Description: |
CSX train T849 (Ceredo River WV-Middletown) is northbound on the Middletown Subdivision at HM Junction milepost BED 4.0. He is pulling loads of coking coal for Sun Coke in Middletown. We cannot think of a gloomier day to be here (you KNOW that its dark and gloomy when you can see the backlit numberboards), but I am glad that I was present because the spring switch shown here, which connects the Middletown SD with the Overpect Cutoff, has since been replaced. |

K587-17 (Ashland KY-Middletown) |
| Description: |
CSX train K587-17 (Ashland KY-Middletown) is northbound, pulling loads of ultra-low carbon steel slabs from the AK Steel Ashland Works at Ashland KY on the CSX Middletown Subdivision at HM Junction milepost BED 4.0. He departed the CSX Toledo Subdivision at Middletown Junction at New River Yard just a mile back or so. The crew has the EC form from the LA Dispatcher to go to North Excello Yard (just outside Middletown); from there he is under the jurisdiction of the North Excello Yardmaster.. The rather Cyborg-looking affair next to the locomotives pilot is the signal that protects the fairly new switch at HM Junction (it replaced a spring switch). The track on the right is the siding track from HM Junction to NAS Overpeck Junction on the Toledo Subdivision. This is a daily train, which is indicative of how busy that the AK Steel Middletown works are these days. |

The siding track, also known as "The Overpeck Cutoff", connects tse Middletown Subdivision here at HM Junction with the CSX Toledo Subdivision back at Overpeck Junction at milepost BE 30.4. All southbound trains on the Toledo Sbudivision thaw are bound for Middletown leave the Toledo SD at Overpeck Junction and use the siding track to access the Middletown Sd, as shown here. Today we see yet another socad of semi-stainless slabs from the AK Steel Butler PA Works that will be rolled at the AK Steel Middletown Works. |
