CSX SD40-2 8089 climbs toward Sandpatch west of Fairhope, PA in August 1998

CSX SD40-2 8089, with SD40 8343 (former Clinchfield RR 3009, SBD 8284/8343) and the SD40 4621 (former WM 7596/7496 - CSX 8438) grind uphill westward toward Sandpatch, PA on a long tangent between Fairhope and Sandpatch as shadows are getting longer on an August 1998 evening. In 2007 the 4621 was the oldest non-rebuilt SD40 on the CSX system. I wonder if it's still in service? It's also interesting that both older SD40's have newer paint than the 8089.
