In Life's Autumn
While they've proven far more longevous than almost all of their Class 1 compatriots, CSX's tired fleet of CW40-8/9s are finally nearing the end of their service lives, with plans being made to finally retire the active roster in 2026. These motors have been in and out of storage as part of CSX's surge fleet since 2020, and have now seemingly found homes at various terminals around the system. Two Montgomery-based CW40-9s, 9002 and 9041, both still in YN2 garb, bring northbound train L698 homeward through Letohatchee, as fall colors finally hit their peak in south Alabama.
