Chasing CLNA 120 from Chocowinity to Wilson, NC - Also Features CSX F715 at Greenville - 6/3/2020

On June 3, 2020, I chased Carolina Coastal Railway's Wilson to Chocowinity turn, No. 120, westbound from Chocowinity to Wilson, NC via Greenville. CLNA was using No. 4012 and 4621 for power. When 120 got to Greenville, things got busy. CSX F715 crossed the diamond heading south for Ayden, then CLNA 120 crossed heading west, then two pieces CSX MOW equipment cross the diamond headinh southbound, all within 10 minutes. The CLNA line west of Greenville to Wilson is mostly jointed rail, making a classic and unique sound these days, espacially at a good rate of speed. Something else to take note of is the rerouting of cars that normally take CLNA 119 to Pinetown. The Runyan Creek trestle in Washington has been out of service due to a collapse earlier this year, and they're still trying to get it fixed. With that problem, CLNA is rerouteing cars (like the Southern Railway limestone hopper in this video) and other 119 cars on 120 to Wilson, then on CSX up to Rocky Mount and Plymouth. I have more info on this routing in my previous CLNA videos. Enjoy the video!

I would have loved to seen the CLNA run on the CSX A Line between Wilson and Rocky Mount just to see how fast it was going.

Why are they hauling so much lime ? Love his horn at 6 am every morning in Farmville

The CSX goes through Winterville to DuPont

[@leonation89]

Yes, that's the Parmele Subdivision. It goes through Winterville, Ayden, Grifton and final destination Kinston to a grain elavator.

i don't get it...why doesn't clna leave those cars for plymouth in greenville if csx "heads" from greenville to plymouth now at night instead of wasting diesel fuel for like 1-3 cars for 68 miles from rocky mount to plymouth

[@leonation89]

I think CSX goes to Lee Creek to PCS not Plymouth.

What time did 120 head back west for Wilson?
