    I chased a CSX train down today that had 6 FURX units behind the 4 CSX units. I'm guessing a power move of some kind, maybe specifically for FURX. I first caught the train entering the Louisville & Inidana's yard and raced to get a shot of it at the only spot I knew I could get something. This was taken right into the sun at The Falls of the Ohio, crossing the bridge to Louisville, KY. It's not much of a shot but I was happy to get it.

    I've seen a lot of lease units going to storage lately. I had 2 CEFX units today dead in tow.

    Nathan, Last year I seen like 11 FURX locos on a Q train heading for nashville. So I guess storage and im assuming that this train in your picture was CSXT Q573 and will probably go to Nashville.

    FURX is First Union Leasing. The same folks that operate a huge bank, IIRC.
