Desperate times call for desperate measures. A B20-8 with a measly 2000HP has somehow found its way onto autorack train Q276-12. Seen here on a quick crew change. When the train restarted again it took about 5 days for it get pulling! It did have a great horn. Built as CR 5076 B40-8 in May 1988. This has now been retired by CSX. |
