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

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?
