CSX Railroad (CSX) 8536 - Rebuilt EMD SD50-3

CSXT 8536 Trailing 2nd on M2020-20

seeing a SD50-3 in 2021 is pretty rare, as a DPU? it sure is unusual and rare

a rare DPU Ill say!

Another shot of the 8536, as this might be the last one I catch. These units are rapidly disappearing due to PSR.

N040 (Oaktown, IN - Stokes, FL) is stopped on the dual mains at Courtland near the former site of the Robertson-Cheatham Farmer Co-Op.

A rare SD50-3 is trailing on N040 (Oaktown, IN - Stokes, FL) as it passes the north end of the Courtland. The empty grain train in the distance is tied down without a crew, but Q512 (Radnor, TN - Avon, IN) is waiting for this train to clear on the southern half of the dual mains.

Immediately after CSX Q090 passed, CSX K460 comes east with some really decent power.

Camper air.

These boys were giving it their all, they now have the whole train on an uphill grade out of AY.

The expressway was kind and the 25mph speed at AY makes it possible for me to get ahead of most westbounds legally.

Looking good for it's age.
