Remarks: Part 2 of Q741's story of bad luck on January 7th...
With Q409 out of sight to the south, the 5358 notched out to drag its train into the yard and pick up the 7568's replacement. There was some debate on whether or not the engineer reaching out the window to paddle helped increase their forward momentum, but everyone agreed it was funny. As the well cars gave way to empty Tropicana reefers, ES40DC 5424 and AC4400CW 13 appeared with Q406, with a well-timed cut of empty cars on Q741 giving a brief glimpse of the head end.
Nearly an hour after the saga began, Q741 limped out of sight into the south end of Collier while a yard crew prepared a replacement locomotive. The bad luck wasn't completely done, however - some time later, Q741's crew notified the yardmaster that the replacement locomotive's radio was broken.
Another example of CSX "engine-uity" M O W employees doing road engine work at Bryan Park Shop.... Dont'cha just love that Jacksonville Brain Trust????
