Didn't know where to put this, so here it will go.

ES44AC on point hooked to a AC4400CW westbound through langhorne station here in southeastern PA. Based on the tank car codes it was all ethanol.

I've seen UP and the occasional NS and such used on csx trains, but this was unprecedented!
Any specific reason why both of these were so far from home rails?

I wouldn't think it would be that unusual. CSX locomotives regularly show up on Ethanol trains running west out of Chicago to points in Iowa on the CP subsidiary DM&E.

Ah, ok, that makes sense. I never get out that way, so i didn't know where they would have come from hah. Thanks for the info.
