He must've had the 4302 and 1169 doing all the work, because they were really struggling too keep going by me.

That is pretty nice isn't it, it sure turned cold outside, I have a lot of memories of that yard, There was a train in the early CSX era like 1987 it's symbol was 396 it would depart about the same time as this or later. I remember one night it had a BQ23-7 in the lead in full Family Lines System paint, The Q stood for Crew Quarters Cab it was before they plated the windows over and turned them into B units trailing. What a wacky sight that was they had the lights turned on in the cab that cab was huge. It was about 11:00 at night and couldn't get any pictures, That was a bummer that would have been a neat picture.
