Seen here are four trains, starting from the left side, PIAL's tank cars, followed by the James E. Strates Carnival train coming off the Buffalo Line. A unit coal train powered by two CSX and four CR diesels stopped on the adjacent track. A CR intermodal with nine double stacks and TOFCs crawls west waiting on the Strates train to clear.
