Looking out for number...4

[traingang]

My son has taken such an interest in watching trains that he has started writing down the numbers of all the locomotives we see passing through town. This week I happened to spot CSX #4 rolling past my office window (while he was at school), and was wondering...

Do CSX numbers 1 through 3 have a particular region that they frequent, or can they pretty much end up anywhere in the CSX system[?] (not to mention foreign roads)

Seeing #4 was the first single-digit locomotive number in our inventory, and we have decided it would be pretty cool to spot the locomotives with even lower numbers[^].

the power will go anywhere and eveywhere.... they might be in a area for a few days or even a few weeks..but wont stick around... the only power that sticks around for a while is yard power... they stay in the assinged yards unless thier is a major power shortage...and then they can be put on road trains... untill they are shiped back to a shop for repairs or inspections....

They go just about anywhere in the system. The last time I saw #1 in North Carolina was a few months ago. It's too bad your son didn't see it then because #2 was coupled to it.
