<p>Hey thanks, a bit complicated but understood. Now when I am out rail fanning I can get a bttr grasp on why CSX runs so many "beater" engines up here coupled to one good AC traction engine. Sort of like just last year I was recording a Intermodal CSX train out of the "rival" yard and she had a CSXSD40-2 single unit. It did not take long before we got a very cool show. The unit was in run 8 for a long long time (appeared that way) she finaly gave up the fight after about a mile or two up the main. The smoke show alone was worth it. We were close enough to hear the engineer or conductor come out of the engine and yell something very nasty (cant say here) about CSX engines. Guess it was to cold for him to stay out long though. As were leaving ( did not have a scanner at the time) another unit was running sort of quick time to the head end. Wonder what happened to that SD40-2 after they brought up another unit. Looked like a DASH 8? Im sure they hokked them together. We left so who knows. And thank you very much for the information you spent a lot of time typing here sir. God Bless you and may he keep you safe in all you do. Again thank you for your time</p>
