Anyone know what's the latest status on the CSX ac6000 fleet? Have they undergo any conversion and what's the current HP ratings on them? Thanks

No changes, with one exception #699, I believe. The ones that I have had in my consists are all still 6000hp. New paint and all.

There's also a few running around with 6000HP GEVO prime movers essentially making them ES60ACs. The plan is to convert them all to it.

They have all been converted to the 6,250 HP 16 cylinder GEVO engine. I can't remember when the conversion was finished, but it has been several years now.
