Charm City Yellowjacket - a photo on Flickriver

            A year old New York Susquehanna and Western B40-8 and an aging Norfolk Southern C30-7 bring CSX R403 west at Ostend Street in Baltimore on a hazy day in 1989.

With marker lights lit, the fresh Dash Eight was looking good but would soon lose its charm as CSX took it over and the Dash Eight became the 5939. 

CSX had financed 20 B40-8s for Susquehanna to operate the bankrupt D&H for a few years. When Canadian Pacific took over the D&H, CSX took back the B40-8s and they soon were repainted. 

CSX renumbered and repainted it as CSX 5939. In time, it was downgraded as a "B20-8" and then sold to the Nashville and Eastern.
