I passed thru Baldwin, FL (intersection of US 301 & I-10) last week and found a large yard behind McDonald’s (to the east) with mostly CSX power and some BNSF. To the north by US 90 a east-west double track crosses US 301 and both times had Union Pacific power. Just to the north-east on joint US 90-301, a double-track north-south line crosses with CSX power.
The CSX also appears to parallel US 301 south to Ocala, FL. Who owns each of these lines (can’t believe e-w is UP)? and where do they oringinate?
all CSX (Callahan, FL and Jacksonville, FL are the next junctions east)
Just took some photo’s at Baldwin, all CSX. Love to find mixed frieghts between Baldwin and Ocola.
Phandle,
There used to be an old brick tower to the north of that yard that controlled an at-grade crossing. Is it still there? Spent a full day watching the action from behind Macdonald’s.
