Title:  Q258 w/CSXT 4847
Description:  With lease & foreign units in short supply & GEVO's ruling the roost on this end of CSXT these days, you have to hope for some of their own rare birds to take flight to keep things diverse in the viewfinder. Witness one of only 20 "Aces" on the CSXT roster pulling empty racks from Taft Ramp up to "Rachel's" for their brake test. Not everyone shares this enthusiasm for the Ace, just look at the writing in the grime on the nose.
