Huntington WV
Posted by louisnash on Saturday, July 24, 2004 11:37 PM
On our way back from vacation this past Friday July 23, I noticed heading back into KY from Huntington WV two green locomotives heading west with coal in tow. I did notice what I thought to be writing near the front of the loco. The locos were all green.

Can someone tell me who these locos belong to?

The coal hoppers were all CSX my wife told me also. I couldn't make out to much since I was driving and it was raining just a little also. I saw these right in between Camden Park exit and crossing into KY.

Thanks for all your info.

The FURX engines look like old "Burlington Northern" green. Is that a coincidence or are they former BN units?

I've seen FURX SD40-2s that still have BN markings. I have also seen FURX SD40-2s paint medium gray with a thick green stripe.
