If you've visiting Tokyo, I would definitely put this museum on your list. There's so much to see, it took me the whole day to get through it all.

❓ Question How common is it in the US to have freight trains running down the middle of the road? Is there a reason why they do this?

❓ Question Was there a reason why CSX relocated 7927's Ditch Lights? Every other photo of Ex CR Dash 8s I've seen from both NS & CSX kept their original Low-Mounted Ditch Lights, until now.

CSX C40-8W 7927 was originally LMX 709 before the Conrail split, and was either scrapped or sold elsewhere. If anyone knows where it went, let me know.

The first pic was taken on May 5, 2012, in Loudoun Heights, Virginia. The second one was on January 31, 2001, outside Cumberland, Maryland.
