as a matter of fact, NS is utilizing 4-axle emd units on some of it's intermodal runs over the N.E.C. recently, the first train of this run utilized a trio of ex-CR gp40-2's. NS & CSX still use GE & EMD units on a lot of their trains. you will see all the high-nose geeps you want, ex-CR geeps, b40-8's, gp50's, 60's, 40-2's, etc. in some spots, you will see b23-7's. CSX is still using gp40-2/30,35 mother/slug sets on coal trains as leaders, or rear helpers. i've seen them on the "old main line", in point of rocks, md. MARC still uses 4-axle geeps too. these units are more reliable than this faulty AC crap any day. i know a few NS & CSX engineers, and they say they would rather ride the old emd's and ge's over this "new junk", any day, 4 axle or six, they are more reliable.
