 	CSX 2547 and 2551 (4)
Title:  CSX 2547 and 2551 (4)
Description:  Afternoon yard job working some autoracks on Track 4 near the sewage plant. After spending 2+ years exclusively in Connellsville, CSX 2547 disappeared at the end of 2013 and I have not seen it since. So this is one of my final photos of it. It has apparently moved onto another location.
