CSXT ballast hoppers

A CSXT ballast train rolls west at the Williamsburg Pottery. I definitely wasn't expecting this, ballast trains are very rare and run strictly "as needed." I was a little disappointed that this guy had two AC44CWs for power, but they were running elephant-style, which was pretty cool. Note that the train didn't blow his horn at the crossing. I don't think that this is a quiet zone, but it's a private crossing and the entrance to the Williamsburg Pottery, so I think that they should be able to sound their horns.
