CSXT 2428 @ Willow Creek, IN
More CSX greatness from the year of 2019, as Louisville, KY originated train Q24416 hustles through curve at Willow Creek, IN with former RCO hump unit CSXT 2428 (ex L&N SD40-2) leading re-built CSXT 4056 (SD40-3). The train would divert off the CSX Garrett Sub onto the CSX Porter Branch here at Willow Creek for the rest of their westward journey for Indiana Harbor Belt’s Gibson Yard. Taken: 6-18-19.
The Q244s used to be a somewhat reliable train for EMDs on CSX, this was also the last time it took the long way via the B&O, before being changed to L&N side and a year later abolished due to COVID and changed to Q352. Not sure if 2428 is still an active unit or not, could be one of the many units CSX has stored in Cumberland, MD.
