The six scheduled rebuilds from Erie, not Ft. Worth are now coming out, all former 400 series units. 437 is now 7275, 441 is now 7276, 456 is now 7277, 493 is now 7278. 447 "should" become 7279. Perhaps a mistake, but maybe not, but 480 is showing as 7380, not 7280.

One more new one from Ft. Worth is 7274, former 173-2 aka former CSX 1.
Is 1/173/7274 still a spirit unit?

480 is indeed 7380 and is at Selkirk and in the csx computer but as I understand it, not yet active.

777 was painted at Huntington. Was sent a photo of it today, saying as such. Nice video out there of 7277 on the test track testing at Erie and paired with former CSX 7715. 7715 was smoking like crazy. 7277 is the former 456.

The next two rebuild YN3c repaints from Huntington are 4584 & 4585. Also seen outside the shop in YN3c paint was rebuild 1726 which also had the model designation of SD23T4 on it, which was a surprise. This is the first full YN3c repaint reported of these Eco rebuilds.

CSXT 7788 now is in YN3c. I believe it was from Waycross?

Yes, it was painted in Waycross, but this is not new. You yourself posted this unit as a new YN3b in a thread on this link on July 16, 2022.

Where are Dash 8 7722,7694,7709,7677,7679,7724 going to currently on M363-06 at Crestline
Supposedly to Indiana RR to replace CIT SD9043MACs that were on lease. Also included are 7650, 7667, 7683, 7696
Have been wondering about these units ever since this thread was first posted late last spring. Never knew if these units ever made it to INRD or if they have used them, or if they were purchased or leased. In the last few days have seen some news that INRD had rejected all ten of these units as they were all in very bad shape with pulled from the long time storage lines. It appears now that INRD is getting ten retired former SD70M units through Progress Rail. All ten were seen in two separate moves of five each. Numbers were 2601,2605,2611,2612,2614,2621,2623,2628,2635,2646. Meanwhile, would like to know where the CSX units are that were orignally supposed to be heading to INRD.

Regarding CSX 7788 being repainted in the thread above, Talk was correct that it was 7778 that got painted, 7788 was just working here in Michigan in November so it got painted quick if it did.

The picture of 7788 is showing (at the moment anyway). Thank you for sharing! It was great to get a look at it.

Here is a video from YouTube showing 5 of the CSX Dash 8's being delivered on the INRD in June (7679, 7677, 7709, 7694, 7724).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuBFWg3FYUI

It seems like most of the Dash 8s that CSX has reactivated for its own use are in the upper 7700, 7800, and 7900 series, with the remaining 7600s and lower-7700s kept in storage.

CSX 4735 & 4715 were spotted in Huntington Heavy Repair undergoing disassembly; these are flared SD70ACs from the later 2003-2004 group. Unclear if this group is being overhauled with Mitsubishi electronics like the earlier, non-flared 4500 series units were

Perhaps a mistake, but maybe not, but 480 is showing as 7380, not 7280.
Late to this, but there's a batch of CW44ACs from roughly 465-485 (don't remember the exact #'s) that are dual-equipped with ACSES PTC and have cutouts in the pilot to clear third rail. 480 is likely one of those, and likely why it was renumbered to a different series.

I believe those CW44ACs are based out of Selkirk and are used for trains that enter Metro-North and MBTA territory, so the trains that operate into New York City and that go east of Worcester, MA (including M426/M427 that go up to Maine, as that train traverses some MBTA trackage that use ACSES for PTC).
