CSX Rail Train At Water Street in Wellsboro, IN 6/18/17

 This is a CSX rail train parked in the interchange on the west side of Wellsboro, Indiana. Power is a GP30 Road mated with a GP40-2. These road slug sets were built by CSX in the late 1980's out of retired GP30's and GP35's. They increase the tractive effort of the "mother unit," and can also serve as a fuel tender. The original prime mover of the "road slug" is removed and concrete is added to compensate for the missing weight. More tractive effort equals more horsepower. 

Rail trains are unique in that they utilize long flat cars with brackets that can haul long sections of continuous welded rail. This picture was taken with a Canon SX50, that was sold in 2023.
