Falls Cut, PA. Brand new C40-8W locomotives drift down grade east bound on a warm summer morning. The wide nose locomotives were delivered in the new standard "bright future" paint scheme which included the very visable yellow nose. This train is R396, which normally ran with C40 power on the Sand Patch line. Engine 7668 is brand new, indeed notice the reflection of the ballast on the fuel tanks!
