Anyone notice the body was a bit wider then the B23-7? I also noticed the hood and walkway buldged out in the middle on a few models I saw.

That's interesting.  I never got to the see the prototype in CSX paint.  When they came through eastern Kentucky on the coal trains they were still Seaboard System, and they were only around the area for a few months.

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
