Eastern Railroad Discussion > RF&P nose GP40-2 leads CSX Y129Date: 10/31/25 19:09 RF&P nose GP40-2 leads CSX Y129 Author: srman Managed to catch the nose painted CSX 6394 this afternoon leading local Y129 as he headed back to Louisville's Osborn Yard. Image one at Jeffersonville In. as he came off the Nabb branch (former B&O) heading first to the LIRC yard. Second approaching the Ohio River bridge at Clarksville Indiana. CSX 6394 was built as RF&P 142. Thanks for looking, Joe Vittitoe

Bob Date: 11/01/25 12:41 Re: RF&P nose GP40-2 leads CSX Y129 Author: mvrr10 Will we see CSX 6394 , ex RF&P 142 , paired up with 1836 (3/4 painted RF&P in Feb. 2024 by CSX ) any time soon ???

Posted from iPhone Date: 11/01/25 18:11 Re: RF&P nose GP40-2 leads CSX Y129 Author: srman There is actually three nose painted units that are CSX geeps. L&N 2651, Chessie 6914 and RF&P 6394. All seem to have their origins from the Catersville Georgia area where they first appeared. No idea who did it.
