The general consensus is that it’s time to move on. CSX has a new heritage unit and is doing 24 more. That should be fun!
Yes LansingRailfan! I am looking forward to CSX "Heritage Units!!!!" :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: There are still CP SD40-2F (ex CM&Q) "Cowls" to hopefully find someday! Other trains of interest too of course! Shortlines included! :wink:
