A Matching Set |
| Description: |
A rather rare sight on Connecticut Southern for much of 2012 was finding a matched set of power. With the addition of former CEFX SD40-2s 3398 and 3715 to the roster, however, that has changed over the summer. The tto units are usually assigned to CSO-4 and CSO-1, turn jobs from Hartford-West Springfield and Hartford-North Haven, respectively. The two units prepare to depart the Hartford Yard on a hbt July afternoon with 38 cars for CSX's Cedar Hill Yard. |
