Two RARE CSX Locomotives; Yes, this is from 2009!  Contributor's Pick!       
The Philadelphia Industrial Park (former CR training facility) has obtained two rare CSX locomotives this past winter, one in YN1, the other in YN2. They are beat up, but still neat to look at. Note the missing numberboard and open cab door on 2402.

Ken Roble General The 2402 was ex-Chessie System-B&O SD20-2 7/12/2009 11:52:46 AM
David Stewart General Great catch! I sure miss the 5500s. 7/12/2009 2:22:26 PM
Jared Steele General Thanks a lot, guys! 7/12/2009 9:49:59 PM
Atlanta Rails General Wow, what a catch! Are these two engines still on the CSX roster? I miss the 5500's too, hope this one keeps working up there. 7/13/2009 2:26:47 PM
No Longer Used General By the way, these are in SD38 carbodies. The SD20-2's were rebuilt by the B&O in the 80's with non-turbo 645's. This is one is reported scrapped in 2006 -- so EXTRA rare for you to catch this in 2009! 10/22/2009 5:50:55 PM
John Danielson General What a great find! 6/13/2010 11:11:19 PM
Jared Steele General Thanks, John. It's even greater to see them in person. They're still there. 6/30/2010 1:06:31 PM
