Eastern Railroad Discussion > Tampa - Yard Power (Uceta) - 24-Apr-2024.Date: 04/24/24 18:10 Tampa - Yard Power (Uceta) - 24-Apr-2024. Author: johnusnsd From Texas to Tampa (an onward to Richmond and Ashland Train Days and then the Chattanooga area next week)......so kinda all over the place.
Only had a quick moment to swing by the very accessible Uceta Yard - but only caught 2 units - - but a rebuit (and looking very good) GP40. 1. CSX 6537 - Yard Power - Uceta - 24-Apr-2024 - Rebuilt EMD GP40-3 2. CSX 7265 - Yard Power - Uceta - 24-Apr-2024   Date: 04/24/24 19:32 Re: Tampa - Yard Power (Uceta) - 24-Apr-2024. Author: Gonut1 Not as ugly as a Santa Fe CF-7 rebuild but CSX tried their best to be the worst when they built these cabs. Understandably they are less expense than something nice looking, but it is sort of a tie between the NS Commodore Cab and this Sponge Bob Square Cab thing for 2nd place. On a positive note it is shiny and clean appearing. Maybe this is giving CSX a slight edge over NS?
