Comments on: CSX train R320 with CSX GP38 2012 and CSX SD40-2 8060 with C&O caboose #904121 are paused by the iconic former CASO station in St. Thomas during a humid August 1993 day. The train is seen meeting CSX R321 with CSX C40-8W’s 7737 and 7694 with C&O caboose 904125, much to the delight of those attending the weekend St. Thomas railway day’s festivities.

Thanks for all the comments everyone.

Here is some background from a previous post of the same train on railpictures.ca.

Your photo date would indicate this was a Sunday.
Hence R320 would tie up here and not go to Buffalo. By this timeframe it was only M-W-F operation over the ‘ east end ‘.
And since R321 had returned from Buffalo the day previous, then R321 this day would simply leave St Thomas ‘ cab hop’ to Fargo, where he would pickup all the traffic off the North end and continue to Windsor, and Detroit.
