Doubt it was 3099 as it was scrapped in Mexico years ago.

Regarding 7767, does this engine fall under the current discussion in the CSX Roster thread given that it is a 7700?

Two Grain trains were seen in the plymouth oaks siding near beck road. One of them was there all afternoon and departed before 19:00. The 2nd one pulled up the signal at around 20:00 and the crew parked the train there. Nice to see two CSX grain trains on this New Year's Day. I don't know what the destinations or symbols for both trains. If anyone in the field knows that would be nice.
