I also have noticed several more YN2 AC4400CW’s than normal, wonder if those are coming back as well.

Saw CSX 9002 in the Kingsport yard just yesterday! Awesome that they’re bringing a handful of these engines back.

Dash-8s were tired when i started working. Doubt they aged like a fine wine.

Looks like we have a little CSX power shortage.
