Here is video I recorded this past Monday October 11th, 2021 in Mentor Ohio of decent size CSX eastbound intermodal train Q010 with 128 wells of containers & platforms of trailers, lead by 2 elephant style YN3b Tier 4 ET44AH's #3418 & #3281 trailing 2nd + mid DPU distributed power unit YN3 ES44AH #714.
The reason why this train was slowing down is because the next control point down track to the east in Painesville, the signal was red and changed to yellow to allow to go down to at least Perry as Freight Q364 was stopped in the Perry area, which in turn Q010 used the CP control point and switched to the other main track to pass up Q364.
