Can't seem to find that CSXT 5535...might be on a local around Plymouth whereever you saw this.

CSXT 7544 and CSXT 7743 are on CSX Q33501 headed towards GR. You have a scanner or camera with you to hear the symbols on this?
Q335 by Beck Rd, MP 28, at 1:46pm.

The photo you have seems to fit the bill of the time frame I was there at Lilley (Mill St.)....
