If you're talking about the GP38-3 and GP40-3 Huntington rebuilds, no, they haven't restarted that program again.

What SD40-2's where CSXT 4078 and CSXT 4087 made from? Seems to be a gap in knowledge

Unless I have just missed them along the way, it has come to my attention of more CSX retirements that I was not aware of. Currently missing from the roster are the following locomotives by number series: 1131,1134,1138,1145,1148,1153,1154,1187, 2227,2262,2266,2268, 2312,2326, 3097, 4234, 5306, 6140, 8455, 9000, 9046, 9052.

I had noted that SD40-3 4234 was involved in a major derailment with fire but not note when or where. Have no idea what happened to 6140 & 8455 but there have been no current photos of either for several years. With the removal of road slugs to their mothers of recent, very few are still working and paired together. Thought for sure more would have been retired, but a large amount are now classified as 'recommended retirement".

Some reactivated Dash 9's were spotted today via a Facebook post, not sure which numbers however.

I wonder why CSX continues to park the Dash 9's and run the Dash 8's.

352 is a recent YN3b repaint, ex YN2. That GP40-3 rebuild program did get started with three units underway but got shut down before it got very far. 6041 & 6464 got new cabs but not Sponge Bob's. 4441 was the third.

I'm guessing that CSX doesn't treat the heritage of their unit's any different in their internal system
