I rode on this train back when Conrail owned it. Had Dinner on the train. The top executives on the RR know how to travel. I did not know the train still existed. I thought it was scrapped when CSX took over.
@text97 They don't use it very often, only for special company events and corporate travel for big events. There are a total of 4 F40 locomotives that can be used to power the train, all of them are former Amtrak locomotives. They are CSXT 9992, 9993, 9998, & 9999 (the latter 2 were only aquired a couple of years ago). Also, most of the cars are in an old B&O paint scheme yet the locos mentioned above are in the new "Dark Future" paint.
those engines were F-40's???? if so are those at the end it looks like the car has a cab in it can this train be driven by 1 of its own cars even??????
Yes, they are F40's. The last car is where the big wheels from the railroad sit to inspect the railroad. There are spot lights all over the rear of the train, and at night it lights the rr up like daylight. Thanks for looking. Jack...

Thanks guys for the information. A pair of F40PHs certainly have plenty of power to highball a long business train along the line.

Those F40PH diesels look good in the CSX scheme!

Amtrak 390 = CSX 9992
Amtrak 395 = CSX 9993
Amtrak 280 = CSX 9998
Amtrak 288 = CSX 9999

Jack, I'd assume this location was made off limits by the water company too as of today?

WTF is a business train? Is it a train CSX execs travel around on?

Thats is correct. Most railroads have a business train, or OCS train... (office car special)

xxxDeath9572xxx 3 years ago
Those are ex-Amtrak F40's. I believe that CSX has at least four of them. They do look good. Thanks for looking. Jack...
