CSX SD40-3 Question(s)
Posted by XC Tower on Saturday, February 4, 2012 9:38 AM

Hello,

 What is CSX's target total of these units to be rebuilt in the year 2012? Also, what are the unit numbers of those completed so far? Lastly, any information who the crews feel about their overall performance plus comfort factors?

 Thank You,

Engine numbers begin at 4000 and go up!  I have no idea how many rebuilds are on tap for 2012.

I think the crews like them pretty well. Mainly because for the present time they ride well and the air conditioners and heaters work.

Sill dont look as good as  straight ol' SD40-2!
