That ABRX 725 is a nice looking unit. Do you know where it is headed? My picture is not a high and wide, but a special load type of train with two units and one car from Palmdale to Seattle for Boeing. I wonder how many units would be used if they had two cars?? LOL Larry   |

Now and then, I like to show the most famous of all paint schemes, at least to me. They were great on the eyes and to the camera. Larry   |

That ABRX 725 is a nice looking unit. Do you know where it is headed? I'm not sure, but I fear it may be headed to a scrapper located just up the line from the photo location. It came from the Detroit area recently where it was apparently part of a collection of things at a now defunct dinner train operation. |

Drove up to Conneaut, Ohio this past Wednesday to catch some CSX action. Traffic was a little light, but it was a beautiful day and we enjoyed ourselves. Tom  |

That is sad a unit might be scrapped at this time over fifty years after it was built. Thanks Larry |

I drove past the yard in Lansing today and the F unit is still there, the Red N Ready is gone. Still no word on the future for the engine.
