What are these locos?

Hi;
I was running (on foot) in Teaneck, NJ in Votee Park, along the River sub, near mp 10 and saw the ethanol train coming south. It had a CP in the lead, and two other locos whos name I could not see clearly. They were green and silver with white lettering.
At first I thought the name on the locos was CSX, but it was 4 letters I think, not CSX. I was running, and the train was moving, so I couldn't get a clear view of them. I think they were something like CTSX. Those letters might have been the same as on some of the tanker cars. My guess is that it's one of the leasing co's.

CITX Maybe?

Ethanol train with CP 5935, CITX 3067, CITX 3056

Nice photo on the Berea page of trainorderpix.net

Yep, also, CITX has a substantial amount of units in grey primer with blue stripes, just for future sightings.

Yup; those are them. Thanks
Too bad I didn't have my camera, but running is a bit tricky while carrying my Nikon D200 on my back.

I gave an incorrect address earlier

Correct is trainorderpix.com

It is an expansive site with sections for current operations as well as historic ops.

Saw the train again today, same place, CSX River sub in Teaneck, NJ, Sat Feb 19 at around 12:30pm. Northbound on the middle track. Was moving very slow past me, with limited approach at CP7, then got clear signal at CP10 and began accelerating. A southbound stack/pig train had just passed on track 2, thus the limited approach at CP7.
This time I had my camera and radio. But despite hearing the train's symbol on the radio, I forgot it by now. It was the usual though, same power as I saw a couple days ago.
Here are the pics I got:

CITX is a leasing company, not a railroad company, correct?

What you saw was a Ethanol Train for Linden, NJ - loaded inbound and empty outbound

So they're always loaded coming south to Linden, empties going north? I guess that makes sense, since we don't make any ethanol here in NJ, but we sure do use a lot of it

CITX stands for CIT Group/Capital Finance, Inc - a leasing company. Try this link for their roster and photos:
