CSX 8335 and 3408
Title:  CSX 8335 and 3408
Description:  A bit of railroad history here, as the ever changing CSX has now decided to completely reroute the Q317 trains and make them a Connellsville to Newell to Grafton run. They used to run from Cumberland to Grafton on the Mountain Subdivision for many years. If they keep using standard cabs like 8335 I could really get used to this new train.
