CSX 1554
Title:  CSX 1554
Description:  The beauty, and flexibility, of DCS territory; 2 trains on the same track, facing each other only 600 feet apart. Southbound Conrail transfer job JR-2 waits in the distance as Conrail local PR-19 comes out of the yard, negotiates the Hess crossovers, and prepares to shove (towards the camera) to the refinery about a mile & a half away. Good communication between dispatcher, yardmaster, & crews make for a safe and efficient move...
