Just happened to catch this while passing through downtown Charlotte at my favorite watching spot.

Shot with my phone but hey two slugs in three weeks!

Nicely done!  The SD40-2 at the end of the loco slug is also a nice catch.

Almost looks like the same lashup that came East to Baltimore a couple months ago.  Nice seeing those old GP-30's even if it is a slug.

Early in 2010 I happened to catch a CSX GP30 slug head a westbound freight over the old WM mainline in Pikesville, MD. Looked sharp, especially with fresh paint!
