CSX Q217-19
Title:  CSX Q217-19
Description:  Probably the biggest problem of the day, CSX Q217 clears East Rocks on two as it pulls into Point of Rocks. Little did the engineer know, in about 3 miles this train would go into emergency in East Brunswick. It would delay the U836, who had to do a roll by inspection. About 20 miles and 2 hours later, it would go into emergency near Shen after stopping on its own because of a car (railfan) stuck on the crossing at Ridge Road and the gate system going haywire. All in all, this train had a rough day.

CSX U836-17

CSX B802-19
Title:  CSX B802-19
Description:  CSX B802, attached to U836, pushes east onto the Old Main Line. It would return later to Point of Rocks and hook onto B867, who would have engine failure and have to be pulled (more like dragged) back to Brunswick because they could not make it up the grade.

CSX P873-19 & CSX B211-19
Title:  CSX P873-19 & CSX B211-19
Description:  How often do you see this in Point of Rocks? Not often enough! CSX P873 pulls into Point of Rocks for a station stop next to the idling B211 (behind that was D023 waiting patiently as well). After P873 cleared two track, B211 would finally get a green signal to Brunswick.

CSX D023-19
Title:  CSX D023-19
Description:  A lone GP40-2 pulls west through Point of Rocks behind B211 with a track authority. It spent the day further up on the line shuffling cars around in the different sidings.

CSX P029-19
Title:  CSX P029-19
Description:  As P029 pulls through Point of Rocks, it prepares to drop its speed as a track authority commands it to slow its speed through East Brunswick because of the previous train in emergency. It would also have a delay at its station stop in Harpers Ferry as it would have to wait once again for Q217 and the car "stuck" at Shen. It was able to get out ahead of everything else though because of its high priority.
