...as to watt is wrong with this scene. CSX's Q300 is seen making its way east over the Trenton Line in Belle mead on Sunday morning around 9:30. It has just passed beneath the new Route 206 overpass with its consist of mixed freight behind two SD50s CSX 8516 and CSX 8518. So can you determine what is amiss in this scene? Let me shine some light on the answer by saying if you notice neither the ditch lights nor the headlights are on! The headlights were on when it passed through the Skillman (NJ) grade crossing but might have blown out by the time it reached Belle Mead.
It is not likely that all 4 lights would burn out at the same time. And the engineer would not deliberately turn them all off. That would be a violation of FRA rules, and he could be suspended. I suspect an electrical malfunction. I wonder if they held this train in Manville Yard until they could fix the problem or switch locos.
