Did anyone get the consists of the CSX and NS Kentuckey Derby specials?

Hello. Welcome to the forum.

This shot shows the CSX train, with only 2 F40 locomotives. Last year all 4 ran.

Look through these, from different years-

Dale…Unless that photo of the 2 CSX engines is in a switching mode, it’s strange to see the first car looks like a “theater car”…as in observation for company executives, etc…turned with that “window” end to the engines…

It must have been a fun job washing the window after that run.[:O]

At least it wasn’t behind steam.[;)]

Good eye, Quentin.

The “new” NS locomotives sure look sharp on their train-

Thanks for the excellent photos. The new CSX color scheme reminds me of the last days of the B&O, except that the blue is lighter. (A C&O fan could probably say the same).

I saw a set of them on the BNSF behind my house, very nice.

Another welcome to NYC#25.

NICE TO SEE THAT THE NORFOLK SOUTHERN CAN STILL RUN A MIXED TRAIN, EVEN IN THIS DAY AND TIME[wow]!

STYLIN![(-D] http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=734958

I guess this makes the 'Bean Conters Happy…Thanks, Dale fr the links.

Why is there a modern locomotive behind the Classics?
