Hello Everyone: I headed south today to chase the CSX Juice Train from Bradenton, FL to Tampa, FL. The reason this is the special edition juice train is because CSX is shooting a new commercial with this train. Alright here we are coming across the 301 bridge I get a shot of the CSX drawbridge. 1.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122467 Arriving at Rossi Park in Bradenton I get another shot of the drawbridge 2.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122468 10 minutes pass and here comes the northbound juice train check out the two huge cameras on the front of the lead engine 3.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122469 4.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122470 shot of the trailing engine CSXT 3026 5.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122471 After that I get a head of him and I set up at the bridge in Ruskin, FL notice on the bridge it still shows ACL RR on it 6.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122480 Here comes the juice train 7.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122478 8.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122479 Then getting on US 41 heading north I get a pacing shot of the train 9.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122481 Coming into Gibsonton, FL I get a few shots of him coming around the turn 10.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122482 11.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122483 Arriving in Tampa, FL I stop at a crossing to get a shot of him 12.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122485 Then it was its for one last stop I got him at 78th street in Tampa 13.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122486 14.http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122487 Engine shots CSXT 3029 http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122508 CSXT 3026 http://csxboy187.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3122509 Thank you for taking the time to look at my pictures.

It has been a while since anyone last mentioned a juice train. I had forgotten they even ran. Will CSX be cleaning up a few cars to also go with it? I hope they'll not allow the trashy stuff to be publicly displayed.
Yeah Q/L 740 northbound runs on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and Q/L 741 the southbounds runs seven days a week. Im not sure if CSX is going to clean up the cars or not I sure would hope so they would clean them up that stuff would not look good on T.V.
Train ID for the Juice Train has changed The Northbound loaded train is now Q140 and the Southbound empties are Q141 except one day when it is Q121. Logic of the change escapes me excep that the Southbound train does pick up intermodal freight at Philadelphia.
