CSX 7725
Title:  CSX 7725
Description:  CSX 7725 leads a southbound manifest out of Deshler, OH past the truly classic cantilever supporting equally classic CPLs. These near relics from another era recall a time when every road had its own unique "flavor" in the manner it kept its plant (signal systems, communications, depots, etc.), ran its traffic and maintained its power. Enjoy them while ya can!
