I caught this hopper heading east on Q640-12 a week ago Saturday on CSX' New
Castle Sub as a grab shot. It appears that it is the same hopper Brian saw in
North East, PA heading west, departed Seneca on Q393-19 at 10am and arrived at
Collinwood at 1:22pm and Willard at 4:20pm yesterday. Q393 is a
Selkirk-Willard train which runs the old Big Four between Berea and Greenwich
where it jumps on the B&O main. It was empty heading east last week, I wonder
what sort of load it got at Westfield MA. Brian saw it on Q393-19 in North
East.

Note the crude MOFW and MW spray painted on the right side.

I caught it at approximately BG123 in Cuyahoga Falls, OH.

Here's the CSX trace for it since it was loaded at Westfiel, MA, note that
they still use the EL reporting marks in the CSX computer system:

Q640 is interesting in that it heads west from Cumberland on the B&O, swings
up to Cleveland and heads east on the NYC to Buffalo. This is the trace for
the train on which I saw it last week. It was pulled by AC60's 606 and 608
which continued on to Selkirk on Q232-14 and West Springfield, MA on Q429-14
which tied up at 1:05pm on the 15th, probably with our car in the consist.

Let's follow our car around for the past 9 days:

Good to see the old gal getting around on today's CSX, it brightened my day
even if I didn't get a good shot of it :)
