Title:  Wanted to show the number on the end too.
Description:  After having driven about 10 miles from when I first saw it, I found it sitting just a mile down the road. Sadly, the lead engine was not available for comment, but it was the CSX 9030. I would have enjoyed getting a picture of it too.
