Does anyone know if CSX is purchasing any new locomotives this year? Can't really find anything anywhere. Thanks

I don't know how many they purchased, but there's more new ones out there in the 900 series like this one. :wink:

Here's a curve for you guys to look into. I was recently told that with the ordering of the 800-900 series ES44AHs from GE, CSX has opted for standard applications of appliances. Most notably the High number boards, mounted over the windows in contrast to previous orders of GE models for CSX which were ordered with number boards mounted on the nose. This was suppose to be a cost cutting measure. I also understand that the "standard application" of appliances is the "standard" set by Union Pacific orders.

The 800 series have been delivered and some 900's are also now roaming the system
