This was very rare in that this was a combined C721 & C729. Crew called them as C729. In all my years of watching CSX trains along the CSX Erie West Subdivision, I've never seen any local during an afternoon. It's always in the evenings or at night.
Here is video I recorded in Madison Ohio in March 2022 of very fast 60MPH CSX westbound local freight train C729 with 26 freight cars,
lead by 2 Geeps GP40-2's, YN3b #6496 with a Nathan 5 chime K5LA train horn & YN3 #6132 trailing 2nd.
Note the loaded gondola cars & rear CSX gray ballast hopper car which is always the last car on C729.

May be a local, but fun.

Great video Tom. Actually, Joe, it appears it is hauling mostly some form of liquid. I saw no donkeys whatsoever in that consist.

“ Note the loaded gondola cars & rear CSX gray ballast hopper car which is always the last car on C729.”
Why?
