    This one was elusive and shot with a 300mm lens handheld!

    Those are nice shots Harold. I especially am impressed with the one caught while hand holding a 300 mm lens!

    Are any of them still in service? Probably I've seen all of them pass through here over the years, but I don't pay any attention to numbers. I really should, then I'd know what you knowledgeable types are talking about. :D :D

    At least check, I think there were only 3 unrebuilt GP40's left on CSX, out of the hundreds that they originally rostered. :(

    Wait! There are a couple more GP40's left! :D

    Unfortunately, they are GP40 bodies that are now road mates (slugs) :(

    At first glance, this looks out of focus, due to the road numbers... I think it is having an identity crisis! :D

    Here's a renumber... I think it is in old Conrail style numbers:

    Another repaint, with old CR style numbers... if you look closely, you can see the old "Seaboard" (Air Line) lettering
