A pair of former KCS GP40-3's are reunited on this short train of empty sand cars stopped in front of VI Tower in the Connellsville CSX Yard to drop off paperwork. Official train number is Z687-22 since it is using CSX rails. VI tower is one of the few yard towers still active in Pennsylvania.

Fred Stuckmann General Nice to see, Akron's yard tower still stands, but it's been closed for many years. 5/24/2013 9:09:58 AM
Curt Beal General Thank you. For many years I just assumed that most yards did still have one till I did some reading. 5/24/2013 2:46:47 PM
