“Moving at a whopping speed of 40mph” CSX Q143-22 (North Baltimore,OH-Jacksonville,FL) is about to crest the grueling 7-Mile hill entering into the town of Tullahoma, TN. With no meet planned on this slow day Q143 will make the run south into the Cowan Pusher District. At some point this train will arrive at Wauhatchie at dusk where it will continue its long journey to Jacksonville, FL arriving a day before Christmas. Q143 is a Tote with Tropicana blocks combined. The train would run south out of North Baltimore, OH, making a stop in Cincinnati to pick up the block of Tropicana cars and run to the eastern route of the CSX Southeastern Region to Nashville-Chattanooga-Atlanta-Jacksonville. Originally the train used to venture down the Coal Network to Knoxville-Etowah-Atlanta, but due to the height restriction of double stack in that network it was decided to reprofile it to the current route you see.
