After getting held up north for a bit, CSX B241-20 made its way into south Georgia with CN 3115, the BC Rail heritage unit, leading the loaded potash train south. This one sure drew out the crowd today, and for good reason. CN 3115 is painted in the same form that BC Rail used to paint their MLW M420 units after going to the red, white and blue paint scheme. This is also the first of the CN heritage units that has made it this far south. These loaded potash trains typically come from CN but will occasionally come off the CP as well. In this case, the train arrived in Chicago as CN B746

With traffic ahead of it at Plant Bowen, local L810 holds at Old Stilesboro Road with RF&P 6394 on the head end. 6394 is the second unit that has been assigned to this local to receive a nose repaint to “as built” paint, with the first being CSX 6914 receiving the infamous “Chessie System” nose.
