CSX ex-L&N SW1500's
Posted by overall on Thursday, October 9, 2008 7:31 AM

I work nearby to CSX's Kayne Avenue Yard in Nashville Tn. Usually they have a quartet of SW1500's working in that yard. Lately, I have seen one or two of them working with a GP-38-2. It is sort of an odd looking combination. Does anyone know if CSX has retired some of these engines?

Some of them were sold to National Railway Equipment.  Three or four of them were leased to IHB for a few years before IHB's own SW1500's were rebuilt and renumbered.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
