[38] In Emergency: Q616, the Sick Child of the CSX Family, Winder, GA, 07/16/2016 ©mbmars01

The combination 616-16 was not a good omen for the Q train with that designation on this day. While I was standing next to the train when it came into Winder, GA, a knuckle broke and emergency braking was applied. Q616 is often an overlong, superheavy train that runs daily from the CSX Tilford Yard in Atlanta GA to the CSX yard in Hamlet NC. It has proven to be unreliable on the hilly ground of the Abbeville Subdivision. Many breakdowns or other issues have been reported in the last few months, some were actually featured in videos on this channel. The train that derailed last Thursday in Waxhaw, NC, was a Q616 (Q616-13) as well! [© 2016 MBMARS Productions. Exclusive rights for YouTube channel "mbmars01" only.]
