[ES44AH]

Over the past several weeks, we have doubled our Intermodal and Mixed traffic. This increase in revenue has allowed us to separate from the M&N. Now, like our pre-CSX form, we are on our own.

Because of the added traffic, we have ordered more locomotives:
9802-9810: ES44C-4
9811-9830: ES40DC
9831-9040: ES44AH
9841-9845: SD70M-2
9846-9848: 3GS21B
Purchased from M&N (these will be put in reserve):
3 NGS-1D (no numbers yet)
