Yellow Nose 2 Rarity
CSXT SD40-2 #8247 is paired up with 8017 at Cumberland, MD. The duo is assigned to a yard switching job this evening April 12, 2025. The 8247 is unique among the fleet of remaining SD40-2s in that it retains the much beloved "YN2" scheme otherwise known as Yellow Nose 2 from the mid 1990s. It is believed to be one of only two SD40s remaining in that scheme. 8247 was manufactured by EMD in January 1977 for Chessie System's B&O and was numbered 7605. The 8017 was manufactured by EMD in April 1979 for Family Lines System's Louisville & Nashville and currently retains it's original L&N number of 8017. Nikon D610.
