One more shot before heading back to CSX
Wont be too much longer before this engine is repainted into the new Southern Railway style paint scheme that CKIN has started doing.
Been a while since Ive seen some CKIN power
Time for some front shots
Another side shot
CSX got quiet again after CSX Q353 passed so we decided to go investigate the Chesapeke and Indiana. We went to the location where they sometimes park engines outside of town and sure enough, one of the DMIR SD-M units was sitting there!
IBCX 804 is ex-EJ&E 804, exx-DM&IR 804, rebuilt to SD-M from DM&IR 169.

Waiting for action
One of only two units lettered for the CKIN sits at LaCrosse.
The good ol 804 sits at its new hope in LaCrosse, IN, where it should get plenty of usage.
