Fresh from the General Electric shops, Tier 4 Evolution unit 3258 gets a hard break-in hauling 100 loads of South Carolina PSA off the mainline at Catlettsburg for a 125-mile jog down the ex-C&O Big Sandy Sub before heading onto former Clinchfield rails, passing a ballast train that will run on the coal train's heels for the trip to Shelby.
Four series of GE products are present in this shot...GEVO Tier 4, GEVO Tier 3, AC6000's, and AC4400CW's, exemplifying General Electric's success in the locomotive industry.
