At the time I was used to GCFX's, but of the Gec Alsthom 6000 variety. One from the CSX batch found its way to the WC Transfer along with an AC44, creating my first image of the "other" GCFX's. Luckily in early 2008 the CP picked up the lease so I was fortunate to shoot some more.

Back then recently renumbered ex LMS to avoid confusion with the 700s SD70MACs which would eventually get renumbered as well.
