“Take This Job…” A shoving platform, CSXT 900077, which is a former N&W class C-31 caboose (NW 518500), is used to protect the extensive reverse move made by CSX’s “Letterkenny Local”.
To reach the Pennsylvania & Southern Railway interchange at the Cumberland Valley Business Park/Letterkenny Army Depot, the former CSX B708 (symbolled KH00 while on NS) uses Norfolk Southern trackage between CP-TOWN (HW 73.7) in Hagerstown and CP-SHIP (HW 40.1) in Shippensburg. After a 2 mile shove on NS’s Lurgan Running Track (shown here at LG 40.8), an additional 6 mile shove is made between LURGAN (BAV 32.2) and CULBERTSON (BAV 26.2) on former Western Maryland Railway trackage.
Some sentimental fan has graced the former caboose with an unauthorized WM reporting mark, apparently formed by simply wiping the heavily chalked blue paint.
