JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – An incident in CSX’s Moncrief Yard in Jacksonville has resulted in damage to two of the railroad’s executive train F40PHs and a switcher. Details of the Sept. 14 incident come from an unnamed source close to the railroad.
A remote controlled yard job with the CSX MP15AC No. 1162 went out of its limits into a moving light power set consisting of F40PH Nos. 9992 and 9999. No. 9992 took the brunt of the damage, but will be repaired. The unit was planned for new paint anyway. No. 9999, already in new paint, suffered minor damage.
Both F40s are expected to go to Waycross, Ga., for repair. No. 1162 will likely be taken out of service as needed repairs are extensive.
