    Is this the one they call the Crazy Eights and was the reason they did the movie Unstoppable?

    Unless they've re-numbered another unit, this is the famous 8888 which led a runaway train in Ohio some years back.

    Barring renumbering, that's the one I reference when I make my joke "I'm gonna make like CSX 88-88 and roll out..." :p:p

    It's at the CSX Shop in Huntington,WV. It's being put out to pasture.

    Probably getting rebuilt into the 4000-series SD40-3's with that ugly new cab design. Many of them have been rebuilt now.

    Called it! According to the "Bull Sheet" website, 8888 will be CSXT 4389 soon. No pictures as of the end of the year.

    Someone posted a couple pics a while back of the cab sitting on the shop floor in Boise. Should be floating around here soon.
