A cool birds eye visualization of the Wayne diamond as CSX N803 loaded with coal proceeds north after getting permission to cross the 6 track interlocking.
[Craig also caught the CSX/PM yard that is now used to load cars and the NS/MC yard in the right background. To the right of the parking lot is a Ford assembly plant that includes a stamping plant and body shop south of the NS tracks. It looks like Broncos and other short wheel based vehicles are made here.]

Meanwhile, Norfolk Southern road and yard power can be seen idling near the yard office during a momentarily lull in the action at the yard as soon, B2T(weekend "extra" edition of B25) will finish putting its outgoing train together before making their way back to Jackson.
