| The crackling of another eastbound came over the scanner so I decided to head back over into Ohio and sit across the street from the grain elevator. Soon enough I picked out the symbol, CSX Q008, the hottest train on the Indy Line. They were giving an engine number, but I only interpreted the first 3 numbers, 802. I was quite surprised when I got outside and heard the recognizable sound of an EMD Prime Mover and a sharp K5LA. CSX 8024, a veteran L&N SD40-2, was leading todays UPS Mail toward New Jersey. An almost unheard of sight in 2021. SD40-2s are pretty commonplace leaders on CSX still, but hardly ever do they get tacked on priority trains such as Q008. This ultimately would go down as the best train of the day. |
