CSX SD40-2 8404, Crawfordsville, IN rescan
J726 has three older EMD six axles and all three are barking their loudest as they struggle up the slight grade leaving Crawfordsville, IN on the Monon Sub. They've got a huge heavy train to deal with, having tried to alleviate a plugged Lafayette yard. Behind them is another freight, J771, who is almost as big. There's a W034 rail train waiting for both of them to clear so he can go north. Wearing the YN1 paint scheme, the 8404 looks a little tired. She may look like an SD40, because that what she was when she rolled out of LaGrange, built for the C&O. It's early March, 2010, and we had gone in search of some semaphore action before they all disappeared. Getting three trains in one spot was kind of nice.
