*RARE* CSX GP38-2 Makes a Set-Out and THROTTLES UP!!

 In the early morning in Defiance, Ohio, I caught a real treat! An eastbound CSX local approaches on the ex-B&O Willard Sub led by an EMD GP38-2 running long hood forward! The GP38-2 is a diesel locomotive model that was built between 1972 and 1986. He stops before the signal bridge and sets out a gondola in the scrapyard. Having a railroad switch the scapyard is more convenient than using trucks. A gondola car is meant to take abuse and suffer the consequences of being outdoors. Then he re-couples the loco, performs the Class 3 Air Test, and throttles up to head for the yard in East Defiance. The diamond he is crossing the Napolean Defiance & Western RR. The B&O Railroad was our nation's first railroad; incorporated in 1827.
