RF&P
CSX 0804 leads K651 southbound at Crossroads, VA, February 11, 2004. It is very rare for a 80MAC to lead an RF&P train, although they all have the required signal equipment.
In August 2005, CSX began to take delivery of an order of GEVOs. Their first runs were back and forth on the RF&P, generally from Selkirk, NY, to Hamlet, NC. Here, the second pair, 5203 and 5202 are northbound at Ruther Glen, VA, August 25, 2005.
CSX 622, an AC6000, and a GEVO lead the juice northbound at Jones, VA, June 20, 2006.
Another bright/dark future pair lead the juice across Neabsco Creek, February 11, 2006.
CSX 5107, the W Thomas Rice Special, leads a Sealston coal train northbound at Guinea, April 30, 2003. There is another crew with pushers that will lead the train on the reverse move down the Sealston Branch.
CSX 6153, added for cab signals, leads the northbound Ringling Brother move from Hampton, VA to NJ, at Jones crossing, March 6, 2006.

Cumberland East End
On July 14, 2006, CSX provided an OCS train to take NAACP conventioneers to Harpers Ferry, WV, from Washington, DC. The special is crossing the Potomac River on its way eastbound from Harpers Ferry.
Pairs of new GEVOs are common, but on November 1, 2005, Q414 has three GEVOs for power, westbound at Shenandoah Junction, WV.
As the GEVOs get dirty, some of the repaints look better than the new units. CSX 8852 leads a CN unit with Q296 eastbound at Shenandoah Junction, August 25, 2006.
CSX 8888, the infamous runaway, leads Q261 westbound at Shenandoah Junction, WV, February 13, 2006.
Pandrol Jackson 5 grinds the rails of track 1 at Shenandoah Junction in a rain storm, June 28, 2006. While I have a number of pictures the following day in bright sunlight, you can't see the sparks.
