CSX operates freight service on SEPTA's Bethlehem Branch from Philadelphia up to Telford, PA.  The symbol is usually B738.  Here, CSX 6056 is switching Moyer feeds in Souderton, PA at the Reliance Road crossing.  The Telford/Souderton dividing line is just behind me.  The Greenhouse tavern (great hot wings!) right by the tracks, is actually in Telford.

CSX usually operates here with a locomotive at each end for ease of servicing the various industries along the line.  The 6056 is at the Southern end of the train and is responsible for switching the feed mill. Here, the loco has pulled a car out of the mill and is pushing it North on the former Southbound main.  Just North of this location is where the EPRY service begins (Telford to Quakertown).
