Sections in the Consist

When hazardous materials are present in a train, the CSX Train Consist contains four sections:

  • the Tonnage Graph, which shows the train layout including the position of loaded and empty cars
  • the Position-In-train Document, which shows the location of all cars containing hazardous materials
  • the Train Listing and Hazardous Material Description, which indicates the contents of each car in the train and provides detailed information for hazardous materials
  • the Hazardous Special Handling Instructions, which provide detailed instructions for responders in the event of an accident
