CSX passenger cars

[phlguy]

This is not strictly an Amtrak question but today (10/12/14) around noon I saw a number of blue CSX passenger cars moving through Philadelphia. Does anyone know anything about them and where they were headed?

Thanks!

That must have been part or all of the CSX Executive train. Had you been even more fortunate, you might have seen up to 3 ex-Amtrak F-40s on the point painted to match the cars.

They were moving on tracks where one usually sees only freight trains so by the time I realized what was going on most of the train had gone by and I certainly missed the engines.

The CSX private cars are stored in a yard off Edgewood Avenue in North Jacksonville. Interestingly, they are painted the same color as L&N passenger cars were back in the day.
