Remarks & Notes

While trailing locomotives are usually of little interest, this unique scenario was noteworthy. After experiencing brake issues on the way to Savannah, an OCS with a trio of F9s and five cars was forced to return to Altoona behind a ragged SD60, No. 6669, one of the 60 active on the roster. Chances are the SD60 will not make a return to Georgia in its current state, but as a rebuilt SD60E, while the F's will hopefully make a return to service soon.
