CSX 8404 (conductor's side)
Title:  CSX 8404 (conductor's side)
Description:  This second engine on train Q216-26 is the first CSX SD40-2 to get the new CSX "railcar" logo. Built as a C&O 7553 SD40 in August 1966. It had the old YN1 paint right up until fall 2012. I was told that even though this engine looks good, it was not running right and it had to be swapped out once the train got into the yard.
