Ex SOO SD60's Still Alive and Well
Author: Ohiorailfan

Yesterday NS 6K4 (which came off the CN) made an appearance in Ohio with Ex SOO SD60 #6020 still in decent SOO line paint leading. The train also consisted of a UP SD70ACe and Ex SOO/CIT SD60  in Blue paint. I'm not a big fan of class 1's anymore, but I couldn't pass on this one. I started my chase at Attica, Ohio and ended it at Crestline. It was a very slow moving train due to a few speed restrictions on the Sandusky side. Once it got onto the Ft. Wayne line at Bucyrus it would pass a few older PRR PL's on its way to Crestline and at Crestline.

Those are Pennsy "PL" (position light) not "CPL's" (color position lights). Only one the red lenses for stop were added to these signals.
