FXE 4087 and 4063 Q299-27 (1)
Title:  FXE 4087 and 4063 Q299-27 (1)
Description:  After waiting for hours in the Connellsville CSX Yard due to congestion, the two Ferromex SD70ACE's that will go out on train Q299-27 are finally able to make a movement. This is one of the rarest things to see around here, as the locomotives are thousands of miles from their homeland.

Description:  A C40-9W and Tier-4 GEVO have somehow made it onto yard job Y290-14. Here they are working autoracks back and forth on Track 4, west of the yard in Connellsville. This is usually a job reserved for EMD locomotives because GEs have a longer throttle response and it is hard to see out of the engine in reverse.
