CSX-DAN. Is that photo an DASH8 or 9 engine????

She looks like one of the new 5300 series, a GEVO 4800 HP (I think) with DC traction motors, and without the steerable trucks.

A lot of the detectors in MA and near Albany still say "Conrail" because they still work fine.  These also state the detector name, usually the nearest town.  Newer ones say"CSX" and give you the milepost as the detector name.

Well, as far as the SD90, the SD80MAC's look the same, except some minor differences.
