Thanks to those who responded to my EMD demonstrator question. I guess I should have been more specific, however. The manufacturer isn't my problem. I'm wondering what model #9046 is, based either upon previous trackside sightings by other railfans, or according to a EMD roster of some sort. If the first 2 digits of the road number are any indicator, maybe it is an SD90??? Things were quiet along the CSX tracks to Chicago on 2-12-05. Nine locomotives headed four trains. Of the 9 engines, 3 belonged to UP (with 1 more a Conrail unit), just to show the frequency mix of off-road power being used. CSX GP40-2 #4421 was performing local switching chores at St. Joe, Indiana. A heads-up to any film makers living near the northwest Ohio area. You can easily pace trains over a 6-mile section of the Norfolk Southern mainline between Butler, IN and Edgerton, OH by following Route 6. Note: it's best to leave Butler and pick up the eastbound trains to keep any oncoming car traffic out of your viewfinder. You'll be shooting into the sun, unfortunately, for Rt 6 is north of the tracks. Come on a cloudy day! A nice mix of off-road power may be seen along the NS tracks here, as well. . . UP, BNSF (in orange, BN green, and Executive green paint), plus Conrail units are commonplace. KCS #2010 was in a westbound on 2-9-05. Many NS units pass by in that new, light gray/green paint scheme. Does that color have a name??? While you're in Butler, check out the old Wabash north/south track at the extreme eastern edge of town on Rt. 6. You can park near the diamond where that track crosses the NS 2-track main line without being questioned by anyone. A nice photo spot! Happy Hunting!
