Grand Find in Clinton

We’re in Clinton on May 21, 1996, to see something a little out of the ordinary. This eastbound CSX train is led by former Grand Trunk Western GP38-2 No. 5715 still wearing its original livery. Note that the trailing unit is a Canadian National locomotive.

October Day Railfanning in Clinton

CSX GP40-2 No. 6248 is on the stub track used by power for locals out of Warwick Yard in Clinton. It’s Oct 8, 2022.

Surprisingly the stub track comes off RJ Corman’s track. On that same day we see westbound CSX 935 and CSX 8364 meet CSX 6248 in Clinton.
