CSX Locomotive Roster News, Updates & Information Thread

Are the GP38-3s and GP40-3s being rebuilt from active or stored/out of service units.

Of the above report is true, it is active units. The 2621 and 2809 are not listed as being in storage...

The 2621, if confirmed, would be the end of the 2600 series as far as YN2 is concerned...

CSX 2004 is tied down NB at 4th st in Lima coupled to anothe GP38-3 and a GP40-2. Mixed freight cut across Buckeye Rd.

So, if you're a CSX '80MAC fan, you should probably try to get shots now...

...because, preliminary reports are, and I stress this is so far unofficial, CSX and NS are looking to do a trade. CSX's '80MACs to NS, and twice that number of NS SD40-2s to CSX.

Again, not officially announced yet, so it could be false, but it sounds like CSX could be losing their '80s in the near future.

Good riddance.

That rumor is totally unfounded and was started by some foamtard earlier this summer.

Looks like most of the 80's are out of service anyway.

I don't think NS would trade the SD40s they keep buying for some POS SD80s. The reason the NS ones work okay is because they keep them around the old Conrail shops where there are people who know how to properly maintain them, whereas CSX more or less let them roam free and gave it maintenence like any old locomotive.

After rebuild looks like 8618 is now in box car paint.

I'll never understand the infatuation with the SD80MAC's, especially compared to their SD45/F45 ancestors.

Based on the photo, the 4716 SD70 AC (wink) is toast. Literally, and quite possibly figuratively as well.

It has been reported that this unit will be cut up on site.

CSX 8880 has been repainted from YN2 to YN3B...saw a pic somebody put on Facebook of it today.
CSX 548 has also been repainted from YN2 to YN3B to.

We're actually up to the 2008 now, making 9, the last two just haven't left Huntington yet.

All the details on those coming up in a few days with the monthly update...

[Saturnalia]

CSX has shipped out a batch of SD40-2s that have been stored in Huntington for Boise, Idaho for rebuilding to SD40-3s. Numbers are unknown (some are, most aren't) and not sure when the units will be rebuilt. Should go into the 4050 and up...

I just screenshot my Excel Document for the rebuilds...easier than just typing it out and it looks better

Current Paint Totals
YN3B: 496 - 11.67%
YN3: 2762 - 64.99%
YN2: 990 - 23.29%
YN1: 1 - 0.02%

In the news:

-YN3B roster has reached 500 units. Now over 11% of the roster, quickly approaching the YN2 total

-CSX plans to place orders for 75 Tier 3 GEVOs, and 225 Tier 4 GEVOs over the next three years.

That is of course in addition to the SD80MAC news, which was not just a "foamtard" prediction.

The ones in service are still out running around so when is the transfer of ownership supposed to take place?

January 1 with NS taking over lease of the units is the word on the street. But take it with a grain of salt until confirmed.

So, an original 20 year lease I assume? So engines coming off lease not a "trade" then?
