CSX 8016 and 8814
Title:  CSX 8016 and 8814
Description:  Autorack train Q276-07 rumbles into Connellsville with a pair of SD40-2s getting it done. This train is so long that it almost always gets cut into two trains in Connellsville because it is too big to take into the mountains. Since the retirement of the GE C40-8s I have pleasantly noticed more SD40-2s being used on CSX trains again.
