@1jackdk CW60AC is what CSX designates AC6000cws. It stands for 6000 hp AC traction.

The westbound must've startled you pretty good! I sure wasn't expecting it to come when it did. I had the volume up pretty high and I was in fullscreen so even though I knew another train was coming it still made me jump.

nice video i like the train that comes from behing
-
CW60ACs were my favorite!
-
lolz, nice catch with the CSX Dash-8 40C leading the TOFC train!!! Quit some action there!!
-
@1jackdk Technically, he means CW60AC, but they are designated AC6000CW, CW60AC, and a few other names I can't think of off the top of my head...

Cool meet.

@1jackdk CSX designates them CW60AC due to their antique computer not being able to accept designations longer than 6 characters. Likewise, the Dash 8-40CWs are CW40-8, the AC4400CWs are CW40AC, AC4400CW-CTE (controlled tractive effort) are CW44AH (H for heavy?), and all of the SD70 series. The flared SD70MACs are SD70AC to distinguish them from the regular SD70MACs. The SD70ACes are also designated SD70AC due to the 6-character limit.

No! If you want to get technical, they are designated AC6000CW by GE, and CSX.
Never heard of a CW60. Thanks for watching. Jackmp294

I think it worked out nice though. I never knew the west bound was coming, as I was standing behind a signal box. But it was a nice suprise.
