FIVE (5) CSX Standard Cab EMD Engines Lead Q541-22 in Cartersville, GA

In the age of wide-cab GE dominance, the likelihood of this is incredibly low... Nevertheless, my eyes did not deceive me as Q541 (Cincinnati, OH - Waycross, GA) passed my camera with three SD40s and two Geep's coming out of Cartersville. This train brought plenty of railfans out trackside as it came south on the Etowah Subdivision with a trio of SD40 locomotives. They picked up the 4th and 5th motors from Wyvern Yard in Cartersville and ran with 5 units the rest of the way into Atlanta. It's crazy to see a locomotive lash-up like this, especially on a Class 1 railroad like CSX.
Also check out Toucan Sam/Fruit Loops graffiti on the boxcar at 1:59. People call this the "Fruit Loops Boxcar" reporting mark FBOX 504257.
These motors have a rich heritage hiding underneath their CSX blue and yellow paint:
CSX 4027 SD40-3 (ex- Louisville & Nashville L&N RR)
CSX 4226 SD40-3 (former Chesapeake & Ohio EMD GP30)
CSX 8019 SD40-2 (ex- Louisville & Nashville L&N RR)
CSX 4302 GP39-2 (ex-Delaware & Hudson D&H Railroad)
CSX 6393 GP40-2 (ex-Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RF&P Railroad)
"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34, NIV).
Thanks for watching!

CSX 4226 is an ex Conrail SD40-2. GP30s are 4-axle locomotives not 6
