How the mighty has fallen
Author: srman

Long from its days of running trains across the Transcon in its warbonnet scheme I found today in Louisville Ky. northbound CSX Q512 with a trailing PRLX SD75M 239. Hopefully someday it will wear proudly someone else's paint.

Fortunately for me, I happened to be in Chicago in July of 95 when the 230's were being delivered.

234 being readied for service at Corwith.

The last true ATSF train I ever saw (pre-merger) was awesome. 991 ripping east at Joliet, at dusk, also in July of 1995 with a set of fresh SD75Ms. I assume on their first trip east. It's not a great shot, but a favorite, none the less, only time I saw 4 SD75s together.

I assume that this was being leased by the KCS. I saw that unit twice last month, firstly at Texarkana TX, and later on at the fuel pad at Knoche in Kansas City
