Just Out of the Box

 

During late summer CSX began testing its first Tier 4 compliant locomotive. Through mid September, the railroad had just a handful of the units on its property.

But since then GE Transportation has been rolling them off the factory floor at a rapid clip.

Shown is brand spanking new ET44AH No. 3321 on the point of westbound intermodal train Q009 at Unionville.

It is so new that even the pilot is still gleaming.
