Title:  CSX 6899
Description:  By the time I got through eating dinner, the local crew had tied down on the house track. Notice the several rounded edges on the cab, the wierd notches above the headlight and numberboards, and a very nice looking 5-chime. I also notice former placement of class lights... what is the heritage of this guy?

CSX 6899
Title:  CSX 6899
Description:  Some people call these Blomberg trucks, but according to the EMD catalogs, these are GPSS trucks. GPSS = General Pourpose, Single Shoe brakes. This beast has the rubber pads that replace the leaf springs, updated roller bearings (not Hyatt), and a flange lubricator, along with some nice yaw dampers. Something tells me this is really meant for high speed service.
