    Hello all:
    While leaving work the other day I heard a train horn nearby.
    So I drove in the direction of the horn and saw modest train w/10 hopper cars, all 3 bay hoppers.
    The thing that really caught my attention was that the engineer was running long hood forward--like the Southern Rwy.
    Also another rarity of this train consist was a Family Lines transfer caboose on the end.

    Of course I did not have a camera, D'oh.

    Jeff,
    It never fails that you don't have the camera at moments like that :rolleyes: I haven't seen any GP39's in ages.....

    I did not know that they made GP39s, until I went to a CSX photo site and looked up the number--4299.
