I was looking at an updated Norfolk Southern Roster and noticed that there are no longer any B40-8s (Dash 8-40B) listed; this would be the 4800 Series. What happened?
All sold to CSX in November of last year. The GP15-1’s are off the roster as well.
They have been added to the CSX 5900 series.
They are still in NS black, with CSX yellow numbers. The result is very PRR like. I wonder if some one will slap a keystone on one of these units?
Thanks for the information. I always liked that locomotive, but it obviously wasn’t high on Norfolk Southern’s list of priorities.
They are also in Conrail paint. I don’t think they have made it to CSX paint yet.

The SD9M’s are off roster, but still on the porperty.
I made that very suggestion to a friend of mine several months back. He thought that it was an excellent idea.
That’s a really good idea. I wonder if CSX and NS can both claim PRR livery in a “Heritage Unit”- and if so, what would they have to go through to do it?
I think only NS could claim PRR. CSX would have to take NYC. As for PC I guess it would be a draw.
I doubt either would take PC! They could give it to the joint facilities railroads.
True…
One came up to Janesville in Feb 07. Minimal relettering.
Thanks for the pics. Nice.
