    I think this is local power, which was lined up with some road power and the freight cars it dragged into town.

    Comment by 'FRN' in media 'CSX GP15T in Dolton'

    There are utility or line marker flags in the ground, if you are referring to the two small black box shapes along the rail. There is a third one back by the diamond that is orange. The leading truck on the trailing GP38-2 was laying down the sand as well. Thanks for the comment and the ratings.

    Comment by 'FRN' in media 'CSX GP15-T local west on CST at Doltron, IL'

    This again proves railfanning is serious business, but I think this is a GP15-1 not a GP15T. I hope this was from the window of you vehicle.
