W821         
The power for W821 (Casky, KY - Charleston, SC Military Extra) is waiting for Q503 to pass on the double track at the north end of Casky Yard. Once Q503 clears the power will run to the wye at CP Fort Campbell and build their train. The army's Fort Campbell Rail operates from the wye to the base, using the old right of way of the Tennessee Central's Western Division for the majority of the way. The army and CSX built the wye at CP Fort Campbell and a new belt line around the southern side of Hopkinsville in 2002, as the old TC interchange required the use of a switchback and had a limited capacity.
