When the jackals(*) -- I mean CSX and NS -- pulled the corpse of Conrail to bits, NS got 58 of Conrail's 1600-class GP15-1. None are currently on NS's roster. What happened to them? Did they find new homes elsewhere? Were they scrapped? Are they rusting in some locomotive dealer's backlot?
Looking at the U.P. roster at thedieselshop.us
it looks as if U.P. still has most of Missouri Pacific's large fleet of GP-15. Looking at the BNSF roster, it looks as if they have only a couple of the ex-Frisco GP-15.
Similar questions.
(I would have thought that these locomotives would have been very popular with shoreline operators…)
