First Union Rail (FURX) 3003 - Rebuilt EMD SD40-2

Back when the River Line was a bit more colorful....The FURX "Fur Balls"and GCFX "Fake Furbies" were my favorite lease power at the time. FURX 3003, GCFX 3058 and CSX 8673 are on Q-433 at West Point, NY 8/2001. A month later the US Military Academy would be closed to the public. This may have been my last visit to West Point.

A sucker hole wide enough for 2 (and a half) engines opens up just long enough to light up this shot!
