Dying Breed
Even when this was taken two years ago in the summer of '14, the number of YN2 SD40-2's was already dwindling down. Now, after two years, that number has only grown smaller. With the SD40-2 fleet on CSX being fodder for their SD40-3 rebuild program, these things are not long for the world. Surprisingly enough, CSX 8130 retains it's YN2 dress to this day and is one of two YN2 units left in the 8100 series.
On that hot summer afternoon, the conductor on this veteran beast has already kicked up his feet and has the natural AC on as they roll north towards a stop in the siding at Tontogany. They would wait for traffic out of the greater Toledo area to clear before proceeding to their destination of Stanley Yard, only about 15 or so miles from here.
