CSX SW1001

A classic antique EMD switcher heads up the CSX transfer as it leaves FEC's Bowden Yard. The 1124 was built in the 1950's for Reading Railroad, later serving the Conrail, and now serving for CSX.

those arent Alco trucks, They are Type A switcher trucks used by all major builders from the 1930's to the 1980's

The new paint scheme for CSX is a tribute to the old Chesapeake & Ohio colors.

Minor correction, Reading's SW1001s were built November-December 1973.
