Eastern Railroad Discussion > Interesting power @ Fort Wayne

I saw some interesting power last night at East Wayne yard. 1) EX CSX GP30 # 4216, stenciled retired and carrying IBCX reporting marks and had numerous pieces removed. It looked to be a rolling parts dept.2) #4216 was coupled to NS B32-8 #3563. WE don't see these very often around here. 3) NS C39-8 #8603. One of the last of a dying breed. 4) NS 31 & NS 33 research cars. 5) GP38-2 #5507, which has been assigned here lately. 6) High hood GP38-2 # 5036 with fresh paint and very wide reflective frame stripes. There were also several SD40-2's and not a catfish in sight!

Catfish?????? you mean an Norfolk Southern Dash9???[sorry im not up to date on the terms used here](hey im only 16!)

Yes thats what we call them among other things...

3544-3548 have been on local L87 from Montpelier,OH lately. It comes in the evening, and turns back to Montpelier, usually in the 8-11pm time frame.

IBCX (Indiana Box Car) sure is getting alot of oddball power these days....kinda like a clearinghouse for classics!!
