Does anyone know where I can find pictures of CSX’s newest ES44DCs 5500 and 5501?

Anyone?

There should be some on http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/ or the popup-palace next week or the week after.

Yeah, I have been trying to check that site every so often. It only goes up to 5498.

What happens to the B-Units in the 5500’s?

They are slowly being retired one by one. The few that are left will either a, be put in a new number group b, left alone and no more GEVOs will be ordered untill more number slots in the 5500s open up or c, the remaining Bs will be put at the high end of the 5500s and CSX will fill between the two (i.e. ES44DC 5500-5563 B30-7 5564-5599)

I got my own picture of 5501 in Folkston yesterday!
