What CSX engines pull coal trains through either West Virgina, Virginia and Maryland? Mostly AC4400? What about SD70M? What about Dash 8 40CW? Any others? Thanks
if i remember correctly Csx has a dash 9 numbered 600 called the spirit of grafton.I have seen all types of engines pull coal trains for csx here in ohio.Especially Bnsf(BN"S)sd 70 macs with powder river coal.

csx uses any power that the power buro will on the train, but working in a terminal that halls nothing but coal…out of WV and south western PA… the power that is most common are cw-44-9ac.
sd-70macs are not uncommon… but not as plentifull as 44-9s… also you will see from time to time the sd80mac… but for coal trians… they like to put AC power on them… if i remember right, it has something to do with the territory (hills)… but you will get anything… sd-40s…50s…and so on…
hope this helps
