Remarks: AC6000CW 673 announced its presence on the point of this southbound manifest with a loud, barking exhaust note all the way through Ashland. The fourth unit back, SD40-2 8321, was doing its best to outshout the 673 as the lashup passed the station, with ES44DC 5248 and SD60I 8729 lost in the din created by the two. Punctuating the end of the train was CSX remote control platform 9195, doing its best caboose impression. The car carries remote control hardware to enable any attached locomotive to be remotely controlled for yard use, saving the expense of fitting individual locomotives with the same equipment.
