This was the the only recorded train I got on March 3, 2024. While I was waiting for daylight here at 138th Place in Hawthrone, a southbound freight was going through. I wasn't able to setup, because I prioritized more on getting the crossing photographed rather than try for action, but at least it was a bonus train. I wasn't able to make out the numbers on the sole-locomotive, but I know it is an ES40DC. Also, the signals there are a late-SBD install, and I can confirm that the bells are a working WCH 1st Gen. Mechanical Bell and a GS Type 3, which now makes at least 3 known GS Type 3s I have seen on CSX.
Please ignore the date and timeframe, as the date is obviously incorrect, as I had to reset my dashcam configurations a few days prior to going on this trip and for a reason and forgot to change it to the proper date. The correct date of when I took this is March 3, 2024. The time is roughly 10 minutes off, so it was actually around 6:35AM when I got this.
