Oh, wow. There's an engineer in there. I thought 8888 didn't need one...

Lots of strange things about this Unit.....perhaps that is why it is called "Crazy 8's" Notice the smaller Digits on the Number Boards. Also notice that there is a sight Glass which came out in the Dash-2 line. The Trucks however are not the Flexicoil Trucks that were on the Dash-2 Units. I guess this unit has had some modifications over the years. I winder if 8888 was it's origional number. Don't seem th remember that number in the past. Very nice picture there Bernie!!!! I think this was the best CSX Paint scheme. But I guess they did not.

It appears to be a Ex-Conrail SD40-2
