PSR
(Noun, Acronym)
Stands for Precision Scheduled Railroading. CSX Rail Road Cooperation implented this into their service and it took it's main toll in-between the years of 2019-2020. This was supposedly a plan which would save money on departing daily trains from places on CSX tracks. Since then trains have been abolished, ID codes have changed, routes have been transfered, and also, trains have been combined. That is why you can now see upwards of a 15000ft. Long Monster train on CSX trackage. It also cut down the usage of foreign power which is one railroads engines operating on another railroads tracks. I had not seen BNSF in Folkston, GA for over 2 years because of this. CSX has since dropped PSR as of mid 2021 but it still lives on In all of the other USA Class One Railroads and possibly even Canada's class ones as well. If you want a real look at a RR that was hit hard, go Railfan Norfolk Southern (NS). NS had just finished triple tracking (3 tracks) their Mainline to Chicago (Chicago Line) and it was needed for the lines 90-100+ trains a day. Now the lines probably only serves 60-70 on a daily basis. CSX also sold off one of their lines in Florida which cause a half of all Folkston traffic to take another route. That line had 60-70+ a day and now the highest recorded number is 23.

"Dude, did you see that 18000ft. Plus Union Pacific Train yesterday?"
"Yeah, it was probably created by PSR."
"Yeah, it was probably created by PSR."
Get the PSR mug.
