Who got "new" engines from CSX this year?

[Ed Kapuscinski]

I know CSX has been purging locomotives and I'm trying to figure out who's gotten some of the cast offs.

I know the Reading & Northern got two SD50-2s and Pan Am has a bunch of C40s. Who else?

Kentucky Steam Heritage Corp. got CSX SW1500 1100, ex L&N.

Kentucky Railway Museum got another SW1500 -- I believe 1102 or 1103.

I believe the SD70ACes were in PRLX (Progress Rail, aka EMD) leasing service but I believe they've been sold onwards.  Will update if I remember who got them.

Look through the monthly roster updates here: https://www.facebook.com/CSXLocomotives/
The February update, for example, shows the disposition for quite a few units.

It's interesting that Several of the class 1s are purging their fleet and investing in new power.. while CN and NS have been keeping/buying the same generation of locos and rebuilding them..

Looks like the Reading & Northern got two former Seaboard System SD50s, Nos. 8507 and 8550.  Good to see they'll live on, because most, if not all, of the rest of the SBD SD50s have been purged for leasing or scrapping.

Eight GE's are going to the WNY&P to replace the six-axle ALCo's. I believe they are AC46CW's and five of them are from the CSX 5000- number series.

The Alcos are going down?

Yup. That's been prognosticated for a while.

Well frack - now I have to schedule a weekend in NY to photo them before they evaporate.

I believe "oxidize" is the term your digging for...  Let me know when you're going.

The SD70ACe’s seem to have been sold to one of the Canadian ore haulers:

"Just" the six axles.  They've become too much of a maintenance chore apparently.  They do use them quite heavily on the Keating Summit getting to Driftwood for rock and stone.

The 4-axles are safe for the moment.

Thanks! I hadn't realized it was just the six axles.

I am way behind on this thread, but if you are planning a trip please let me know. I might be able to burn a vacation day and meet you up there. I am 1 hour from Driftwood.

It looks like I may have a half day to run the northern part of the line up in Salamanca. Stay tuned.
