GP9 #511 w Passenger Train

Even today, tanker trucks are refueling locomotives. Amtrak's AutoTrain
stops at the CSX yard in Florence, SC for fuel. Two fuel trucks pull up when
the train stops, fills them up, and their off again for their destination of
Florida or Virginia.

Actually, this appeared to be a standard practice at Decatur, as I have a
slide I purchased showing an E8 with train at Decatur being fueled from a
tanker truck.

I agree with Frank Scheer that it is a passenger train, westbound at
Decatur, IL.

special, but baggage car would be out of place. And that looks like a coach
yard to the left, with red cars. Beats me!
