CSX Railroad (CSX) 6457 - EMD GP40-2

6457 is shown working at the CSX Augusta, Ga. yard 1-1-2002.

A nice leader for the SU99 compared to the NS widecabs that now lead.

CSX 2230 leads the SU99 it will be removed in Sparta.

This WS train will drop the MNJ unit in Butler for an SJ to pick it up.

As I pulled up here, the last person of the crew was about to leave, I got my shots from the car and left so that he could go home.

Thanks to fellow contributor Max Smith, I learned that CSX has recently resumed service at Americold. CSX local train B769 switches these reefers at Americold on the Baldwinsville-sub. Here we see the train tied-down just south of the NYS route 31 crossing in Baldwinsville.
