“Cleanup on Aisle 4” Near the throat of the eastbound classification yard at Brunswick, CSXT 940508 works to rerail several wayward loaded hoppers on the No. 4 running track on 08/24/1988.
The former B&O X-217 (renumbered to 940508 on 10/04/1982) is a 250 ton diesel wrecker built by Industrial Brownhoist Corporation (Bay City, MI) in October 1954 (B/N = 12246).
Although it appears to have no assignment marking in this photograph, in January 1987 CSXT 940508 was the Grafton-based wreck crane.
CSXT 940508 was retired on 07/26/1990 and scrapped. However, its sister, CSXT 940505, as B&O X-215, is part of the collection at the B&O Railroad Museum.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
