Does This Apply To Me? |
| Description: |
Florida's state bird, subject of a hit song by Carly Simon & James Taylor, is oblivious to the "warning" posted on the locomotive. No way of telling if it's the same bird or not, but every day, a mockingbird will spend time on Q258 if it's staged up at Rachel's. |

CSXT is uskng regular pairs of SD40-2 in the Baldwin auto-rack pool, much like when they still had a lot of leasers running in the pool. Athearn modelers will recognize 8058 as the old HO-scale SD40-2 kit. |
