CSX 8550 and 8436
Title:  CSX 8550 and 8436
Description:  Not to often do you see a coal train in 2011 with an SD50-2 and SD40-2 at the front. This is westbound train U641-27 which finally got underway after dealing with a switch that woundn't throw for a few hours. FINALLY someone thought to check and see if something was in the way of the switch, and it was thrown by hand.
