Title:  in the disatance
Description:  ACW 200 job is seen on track 3 to the far right, with loads they will pick up in track 2 (center of frame) and seen in the distance is CSX local F742.

Addor Siding is between that signal and the CSX motor, you can barely make out a cut of cars sitting there, which is where ACW is headed after dropping off what he has behind the motor.

Title:  36,000 horsepower ?
Description:  This is part of the dispersement (sale) of the AC6000 units from CSX to Progress Rail. According to "Forward Progress," these six ex AC6000 (4400), along with 35 more AC6000's have been purchased by Progress and are to be delivered to ACWR. ACWR in turn will repair these units as time allows, return them to Progress who in turn is leasing them to Union Pacific. It is unknown if these will be repainted to any scheme, other than blanking out "CSX."
