CSX #6201 Deshler, Ohio
During the late 80's the CSX dabbled with running their own version of the NS' RoadRailer trains. According to the lettering on the side of the first trailer they called it XpressRailer. I'm not sure where the train originated out of, Toledo or Detroit (?), and I think headed down to Atlanta, on a schedule that put it through Deshler in the early morning hours.
Towards the waning days of this experiment the CSX put their executive F-units on the train. I headed over to Deshler this particular morning in hopes of catching the train. The good news was that I got there just in time to catch the train, but the bad news was it only had the one GP40-2 for power instead of the F-units. It is seen here going across the diamond with the CSX's main between Chicago and Willard. A small portion on the interlocking tower is visible behind the locomotive.
