CSX's Huntington, WV repair shop has been turning out quality work for decades. These stickers are individually unique to the locomotives they are applied to. The Dash 3 rebuilds done there have similar stickers. In the Chessie years they had paint stencils that signified they were Huntington Repaints. This is a classy move on their part and something the workers there should be proud of.

Along the North Fork of the Feather River in Northern California, tall granite and serpentine peaks tower above the canyon. In this wild and rugged canyon, man and his contraptions are mere guests. It only one of several places I know of that can humble almost any person. Even a railroad, which in it self is humbling, is humbled by its surroundings. Here, a massive SD70AH is a mere pebble compared to the massive rocks and cliffs that surround it. In the area known as Serpentine Canyon, between Rich Bar and Virgilia, is this most apparent. Raw, gnarly and jagged serpentine rock cling to the sides of ridges nearly a mile high in some spots. The raw beauty of this location is humbling and inspiring. In this spot, you know your place. The train knows it's place. Both guests in a humbling setting.

This afternoon, a friend and I took off to the La Junta Sub to catch the two Tier IV EMD's coming in on the H-PUEKCK. After overrunning the train near Cedar Point, KS, we got these shots of it pulling into the siding at Clements. The lighting certainly wasn't ideal, but I'll take what I can get.

Another day, another motley collection of stripped out shells at Progress Rail, Longport (ex EMD). Today's line-up features 56128, 56077, 56038 & 56065, all stripped out and ready for the next stage of their transformation to Class 69s. Monday 21st October 2019.

Internally they have crew comfort improvements as well as mechanical and electrical upgrades. Maybe they will continue to earn their keep and help diversify the sea of GE's currently moving CSX trains.
