CSXGP40-2
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 7, 2004 10:13 AM
Some of the CSX GP40-2's have a decal on the side that says something about remote control and have a strobe light on the firemans side.

Do they use the remote control around Massachusetts?

Does any decal manufacturer make decals for the remote control decal?

CSX uses Remote Controlls on some of their equipment @ the DeWitt NY yard just east of Syracuse. I know for a fact, one happens to be a GP38-2 as it goes down the spur across from my house. It has the Strobe lights on top and I've seen it in action at the yard.

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017
