This is a long shot, but perhaps someone knows.

There is a new webcam for Mance, Pa on Sand Patch (CSX) which has my attention. It has a nice listing of trains, times, origin/destination, etc. Wish all those webcams offered that.
Anyway CSX pair M369/370 are a pair of Chicago to Rocky Mount, NC trains. Thru Fostoria and Deshler (which I also monitor) these are general freight trains - just a big train of box cars, covered hoppers, etc.
Thru Mance it is designated as “Intermodal/Manifest”. The train has a block of intermodal cars on the head end, typically domestic containers.
Does anyone know where these intermodals are picked up and dropped off? Would be between Fostoria and Mance, Pa. My guess is these come off of CSX 115 and 116 - the Chicago and Chambersburg, Pa intermodal trains. These are typically huge domestic container trains. Both the M369/370 and I115/116 show working at Connelsville, Pa.
My guess and only a guess is that these are containers handled between Chambersburg and North Carolina, but that doesnt make sense. Perhaps Chicago to north Carolina with I116 making a block swap.
CSX doesnt really offer Chicago to North Carolina service (NS does with 28N/29C which we have discussed).
Kind of a mystery to me.
