Four Rivers Transportation, parent company of the P&L, Evansville Western and the Appalachian and Ohio RR purchased 16 SD70MAC's from CSX. This is thanks to the fact that CSX owns a large stake in Four Rivers; otherwise CSX is not disposing  of any other SD70MAC's. The acquisition of the SD70MAC's by Four Rivers will allow for leased CEFX SD9043MAC's and GMTX GP38-2's to be returned to the owners. The bulk of the SD70MAC's will likely be assigned to the P&L and should also result in some P&L 4 axle power to be transferred to the EVWR and A&O.

Is the lead P&L locomotive (2120) in that line a slug because it appears that the radiator inlets have been plated over?

P&L has eleven road slugs built from GP35s of just about every conceivable heritage.

Pictures and stories have been posted that sixteen CSX SD70MAC's have been sold to the Paducah & Louisville. Does anyone have more details on this?
