Do you know how many GP40-2s do they still own? [:)]

Also what model do they have the most units of?

[Anonymous]

According to my roster, they have around 440 GP40-2's still in service. That figure also includes 7 de-turbocharged GP40-2's which are rated at 2,200 horsepower. They are classified as GP38-2S.

The most popular model is the AC4400CW (CW44AC to CSX) with 593 units.

I found the following in "The Official 2005 Edition Locomotive Rosters & News" published by DPA-LTA Enterprises. I Should note that I have found some errors in the few rosters I know something about, so I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data.
3185, 3187, 3188 B23-7R (ex-CR) rebuilt 1989-1994
5500-5503, 5505-5507, 5509-5512, 5514-5518, 5520, 5523, 5524-5526, 5528-5535, 5537-5538, 5540-5542, 5544-5549, 5551-5552, 5554-5555, 5557, 5559-5560, 5562-5569, 5572-5576, 5578-5581 B30-7.

I have been searching for this for a couple days now and it seems like we have some people that have the info. I have been trying to reearch when CSX leased out their F7's to the Potamac Eagle? Or when about did CSX have F7's in the bright future scheme. I've been going mad trying to figure this out.

According to the "Paint Shop" in the December 1990 issue of Model Railroader, CSXT introduced the gray, blue, and yellow scheme on March 26, 1990. There is a picture of CSXT 118 and 119 in that paint scheme in the article. Is the gray, blue, and yellow scheme the one that is refered to as the "Bright Future" scheme? I would guess that CSXT got rid of the F7s (according to the MR article 118 was a FP7) just after they bought or leased the F40PHs.

Thanks for the quick response! That is exactly what I was looking for.

It probably doesn't need to be said but CSX has the largest slug fleet (in road, yard and hump varieties) in the country. I don't think any anybody else is even close.

I like the B23s. Closest thing I will ever see to a Uboat.

The current issue of the Bull Sheet has a unit-by-unit roster of CSX diesels and the paint schemes they're wearing. My friend Bob Michaels is probably the "point man" for keeping this updated.

There are still a couple of ex-Con B23-7s on the roster, but that's it. Other than those, the 3000s are vacant (and that's where the small-horsepower GEs used to reside).

Interesting; I thought the SD80MAC was the longest in the fleet.

You're right, the 80MAC's are 4 feet longer - 80' 2"

And the Engineer will report that one as having a 'rank' toilet after the Conductor has conducted his business, thus rendering that engine useless as a leader.
