Eastbound at Magnolia

            An eastbound manifest, likely the Q401, crosses the Potomac River from Maryland back into West Virginia at Magnolia on CSXT's Cumberland Subdivision, September 21, 2003. This was three days after tropical storm Isabel had stalled and then finally broke up over the region wreaking havoc along the way including flooding the Potomac.
Former Conrail SD60I #8746 leads the charge. With the locomotive being equipped with cab signals, the train will be heading for Richmond VA using the RF&P Subdivision south of Washington DC. The RF&P Sub is cab signal equipped meaning that all trains must be led by a cab signal equipped unit. The former Conrail units acquired in the split merger with Norfolk Southern fit the bill nicely and would be found on almost every train that was headed to or from Richmond over the RF&P. CSXT's AC6000 locomotives were the first new units ordered with cab signal equipment and could also be found in the lead on these trains. Within a few years of this photograph new General Electric GEVOs in the form of ES44DCs (later re-classed as ES40DCs) would join the cab signal equipped fleet eventually bumping the Conrail units to lesser service. Eventually the SD60Is would be sold off after even newer GEVOs were acquired which were ES44AHs with AC traction and extra ballast for tractive effort.
