CSX 2752

The final rays of sunshine light up CSX 3428 on M-403 at Ridgefield Park, NJ 10/8/2022.

Had a string of local cars from Attapulgus and Quincy mines, empty rock cars from Marianna and Midway with the regular through traffic including autoracks.

CSX New River Yard Job Y101-19 is drilling a cut of coiled steel cars into New River Yard at mp BE 28.7 of the CSX Toledo Subdivision. I am standing on Augspurger Rd. The sun is at a perfect angle for photography here in the late afternoon. Cool old power can always be had on these yard jobs. On this day CSXT 2752 (a GP38-2, former CR 8140 built in March 1972 as Penn Central 8140) and CSXT 1524 (a very rare GP15T, built as C&O 1524 in January 1982). CSX GP15s are unique as they are 8 cylinder GP15Ts. They are very close cousins to the GP15-1, but they use a turbocharger in order to generate more power from a smaller engine. Power is provided by an 8-cylinder EMD 645E engine that generates 1,500 hp (1.12 MW), the same as the GP15-1, but with four fewer cylinders. The radiator section is similar to those found on the EMD SD40T-2 and EMD SD45T-2 tunnel motors. 28 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads. The Chessie System received the majority of them as C&O 1500-1524 (25 units).
