BEFORE WIDE CABS. See what the CSX looked like in May 1992!

For all you young people thinking WIDE CAB after WIDE CAB is awesome, look what the fleet looked like before them.

@meccaturbo I am VERY torqued that NS painted 4610!!! At least I got a chance to see her in all her glory!!!!

@gordondavis4 And now NS will be doing 18 heritage locos. CSX is dumb, they could care less about their history.

@TheQwaz My parents bought for me for Christmas this year. It's by Bowser, HO scale.

@CPWindsorsub Cool on that last part. Did you do it or is it brass? Sweet either way. :-)

[CPWindsorsub]

@TheQwaz CP has 260 ES44AC's and like 300 AC4400CW's. All I see is GE power. Every once in a while a SD40-2 or SOO SD60 or ex SOO SD60-2. I have a model of a CP C360M number 4505.

@CPWindsorsub Oh, i hear you. remember over the years seeing pictures of ALCO's still running on the mains in Canada and feeling jealous wishing railroads down this way still ran them. Also recall magazines and such razzing CSX back then for their "circus train" lashups. I miss those days. Including the sights and sounds of those units on throttle up. Smoky, noisy, goodness. ;-) Understand on the GE's, including standard cabs NS has roughly 1,200 D9's. *overkill*

[CPWindsorsub]

@TheQwaz I mean like back in that era. I know CSX didn't have any ALCO's. CP did and I live near CP tracks so for me would have been awesome but I'm stuck with music like Eminem and Justin Bieber and GE AC4400CW's lol. I like the old stuff like Aerosmith and EMD and GE in it's hay day.

@chris64346 Just watched another video that has that unit in it (the one where it helps an Amtrak train) and someone who has more info commented in which it apparently hasn't been out west. Check it out.

@CPWindsorsub Alco? I didn't see any. Nothing but EMD & GE's there. Other railroads like BCRail but not CSX. They had got rid of theirs long before then.
