CSX 8973 also somehow ended up with tripple clasp trucks too! Does anyone know how this happened?  |

When CSX retired the 8973 it became REDI training locomotive for CSX.As for the trucks that i do not know. The unit has the 16-645 prime mover im surprised athearn got that right.

Since those are HTC tripple clasp they couldn't have come off of any SD35 or 38. They had to come off of a -2 unit. I like that new front pic too! Very nice model.
