CSX O718 - What is O718?

The other job CSX runs is much more closely knit to Fort Lauderdale Yard. While I am doing Fort Lauderdale Yard, it is a subordinate focus to represent this train. In real life it switches Transflo as it is allowed to, after daytime hours. It also shuttles Transflo cars between Dania house tracks, the Middle and Back Track, and the mix of F05 and the Transflo yard. Transflo is a granular/bulk transloading facility, owned by CSX. In real life the 4 tracks can hold some 30 spots but in my layout, 8. But that'll do as quite so, model railroading is very expensive a hobby. As nocturnal as it is, and as hard to catch it as it is, I don't really have photos of the job, nor video.

Nonetheless you'll be seeing a new set of cars in my hands in the near future, thanks to a very dedicated contributor online here.

MSL Episode 1: CSX Atlas TRAINMAN GP39-2

My Main Unit: CSX GP39-2 #4305

Managed to scope out a CSX GP39-2 on my trip last Saturday from Warrick's. It's a DCC ready but not decoded (?) model from Atlas Trainman, which is already cheap to begin with. I think DCC and sound CAN fit in it.

I got it for $81... It needs work such as ditchlights, MU Cables, MU hoses, brakeline, and maybe a horn change but otherwise it looks great!

Compared to her sister the SD70MAC, the handrails are super sturdy as well.

This unit will be the flagship switcher unit for the layout as work is often carried out by a GP39-2. I hope to have it pimped out with DCC this winter.
