CSX 8123 and 8854 (2)
Title:  CSX 8123 and 8854 (2)
Description:  Eastbound autorack train Q216-13 comes to a brief stop in Connellsville to receive its instructions before entering the yard. Just enough time for me to come down off the bridge and get a nice portrait of these two SD40-2s. #8123 is former L&N 8123 built in August 1980. #8854 is former Conrail 6496 built in August 1979.

CSX 8123 and 8854
Title:  CSX 8123 and 8854
Description:  It is still possible to see SD40-2s paired together on a mainline in 2011. CSX uses the pairing on autorack trains, such as this eastbound Q216-13 quite often.
