Q212 makes a rare day time appearance
The power for X500 (Radnor, TN - Chicago, IL Barr Yard) passes MP 211 between Adams and Sadlersville . Two of the train's locomotives went down on its northward trek, so the dispatcher had the crew tie the train down on the dual mains at Courtland, TN and run light north to the yard at Casky, KY. There the crew retrieved the two motors that had been assigned to local jobs J732/J733.

5421 didn't look as good four years ago. Nice that they could save her.
Nice to see dark blue still crossing that viaduct.

CSX SD40-2 8388 hauls two wrecked CSX GEVOs south through Dolton.
After being wrecked in late 2011 or early 2012, these two units have not seen service or a repair shop.
From what I can tell this locomotive was wrecked in late 2011 or in January 2012 and parked in Riverdale, IL. Nearly two years since the accident this locomotive has not been repaired and is now in KCS' Deramus Yard in Shreveport. I wonder if the delay in repairs is due to the insurance problems or if the damage is too extensive making it uneconomical to repair.
