I assume the count was done before EHH got active on CSX - suspect the number is less than 28K now.

 

Thus far, reliable reporting has only cited about a dozen confirmed retirements off the CSX roster, with many more reports of SD50s, 60s and 70s being returned to service. Currently the only known subfleet on the chopping block appears to be the 7300-series C40-8Ws. That's a small part of a 4300-unit fleet.

Isn't it a legitimate question about railroading?

Yes, but this isn't the forum for questions about railroading. That's the Trains forum. This is the forum for questions about our website, Trains.com. I'll move this to the Trains forum, and you'll be more likely to get answers.

Welcome. Assume you are new. Right above this forum you can see, this is not the trains forum.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Why wasn't Kansas City Southern, a class I railroad, included in the 28,895 count?
