CSX 4791
Title:  CSX 4791
Description:  The re-routed Q394 train comes to a stop in Connellsville on the Wheeling and Lake Erie line. Due to a bad train wreck in Ohio, several CSX trains were forced to detour onto this railroad in order to get around the accident. It is probably the most freight this little-used railroad has seen in months. Leading the five locomotives is an EMD SD70MAC.
