I would like to edit the Wiki page but before I do I would appreciate confirmation. HESR 3036 is not a GP40-2LW but a GP40-2W. It was in the last batch ordered by CN that did not have the tall I-Beam like the previous orders. The L designated the taller I Beam. The purpose for this was to fit a larger fuel tank under the frame.

Anyway, can someone please confirm 3036 should be a GP40-2W.
HESR 3036 GP40-2LW 1976 CMGN Black Ex-HESR 9712/CMGN 9712/CN 9654.

correct

"CN would receive 35 of the GP40-2W’s between March and May of 1976. Their numbers being #9633 to #9667. CN would acquire ten more GP40-2W’s from GO Transit in 1991. The only other buyer of this model, the GO"

Thank you for confirming Talk. I will make the change at Wiki.

Any news on lineage of NCVA 3560? I know it is GMTX, just trying to figure things out a bit. This 3500 series is overwhelming haha!

GC 2116 has been reassigned to the Commonwealth Railway from the C&A, CWRY 1534 suffered an electrical issue possibly beyond repair. 3557 ran the NS Portlock Yard wye and now faces north. 3557 and 502 are the only power for C&A until they receive another GP38-2. 2116 will likely not return to CA

Was 1534 the only unit on the CWRY? I still had it as LTEX 1424 lol.
I see Randy Keller listed it as: CWRY 1534 GP15-1 (EMD 787249-66, 11/79, 787249-66, ex-LTEX 1424, ex-NS 1424, nee-CR 1650).

Just want to update the Commonwealth Railway page on here:

That’s what I’ve heard

Due to Clean Air Act violations, G&W entered into an agreement with the Justice Department to pay a $1.35 million fine and either upgrade or scrap 88 locomotives, which did not meet emissions requirements when rebuilt.

The list of locomotives is in this trains.com article:

Here's the actual DOJ settlement with the list of 88 locomotives at the bottom:

CWRY fixed their engine issues, GC 2116 is coming back to the Chesapeake and Albemarle RR, if anyone wants to update the wiki

Those PNWR units will be the end of the remaining PNWR GP9s, SD7s, and SD9s, sadly.

Is that replacing 3389 or 3391?

Does G&W roster a locomotive numbered 2119 or 2127? I cannot find a record of either ever existing

Per a few of the Facebook groups, the IORY and CFE will be getting a pretty sizable fleet of ex BNSF Dash 9s and ex CSX Dash 8s soon.

Are these Dash 8’s coming from like LTE or directly from CSX?

Coming down the pike: More GE’s for various G&W roads:
