Old GE's

[CSSHEGEWISCH]

Old EMD power is still fairly plentiful and there are still a few roads that operate with primarily Alco rosters.  Besides TransKentucky Transportation and Lake Superior & Ishpeming, are there any other roads that operate primarily with old GE's (Dash-7 or U-Boats)?

I believe the MM&A has about a dozen C30-7, ex ATSF and BNs.

I think your right.

Finger Lakes Railway in Upstate NY has 5 B23-7s and at least one U23B.

Providence & Worcester in MA/RI has a bunch of dash 8s. They have some dash 7s left I think including some of the former BN cabless B30s.

Ohio Central has some of the old Monogahela Super 7s. 

Meridian Southern Railway in Mississippi has 5 B23-7s.

Nashville & Eastern also runs dash 7s.

How are they doing ? Would you call them reliable or troublesome ?

Here in Brazil we have hundred of U-boats in operation condition. Also we imported more than 500 second hand units from US and put them on the tracks again after a small restoration. Some received BB+BB trucks to run on meter gauge tracks and others still run on C-C trucks. Most of brazilian fleeet is GE and the oldest units are from 1956!

In addition to the U23B's, HESR also rosters a pair of ex BNSF C30-7's (one in BNSF Heritage I paint) and an ex BN B30-7, and 3 ex BN B30-7AB's.

I believe CSX has a few C30-7s left to finish out their years working in Waycross, Ga.

Also, Penn Eastern Lines in PA runs several B23-7s, B30-7s and perhaps one U-Boat as well as several EMDs.
