A few days ago I saw a LMSX unit that was RENUMBERED to CSX #0701 I know that #701 is an SD70MAC I hears that CSX was buying some power from other leasing companies and EMD Leasing. I have not heard anything about LMS How many are Renumbered for CSX? I have a model of #728 and want to update it with weathering and I need to know, Is #728 now CSX #0728 ??? ------------------ Appalachian & Atlantic Model Railroad "QUALITY at WORK with SAFTEY in MIND"
I doubt it, but anything is possible! I photographed LMSX 700 pulling a track train today (see separate topic). Here is a photo of the LMSX 700: http://www.trainweb.org/ncrail/images/LMSX700.jpg as well as this one: http://www.trainweb.org/ncrail/images/LMSX700a.jpg The units were sublettered "LMSX" not CSXT, so I'd have to guess they were still on lease; I doubt CSX would disrupt the SD70 series already in progress.

yea, That's what I was thinkoing when I was waving to the engineer as he passd by in it, It said just like in Ex-CONRAIL engines, CSXT and underneath that "CW40-8" ------------------ Appalachian & Atlantic Model Railroad "QUALITY at WORK with SAFTEY in MIND"

The LMS units were built to Conrail specs; I think it was their intention to corner the lease market and win big Chessie ------------------ Harold Hodnett Fan of NS, CSX, and their predecessors!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by adristoo: was the cab side nuber orange like the CR renumbered units? Adam<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hi Adam, and welcome to the forum! In response to your question, no the cab numbers were white; I am not sure who exactly owns these units. I still think they hold an independent lease status, as the cabs were sublettered LMSX also.

"0701" was numbered unlike most ex-conrail units I've ever seen. the 0 in front of the 701 was in CSX stle Numbers and in yellow compared to the white conrail-ish style numbers. ------------------ Appalachian & Atlantic Model Railroad "QUALITY at WORK with SAFTEY in MIND"
Wes has a great site filled with CR, NS, and CSX locos. Here's a shot that shows LSMX 702, no "0" either: Chessie ------------------ Harold Hodnett Fan of NS, CSX, and their predecessors! Coming soon: The North Carolina Railfan Web Site http://www.trainweb.org/ncrail/

Watch out! That looks better than my photos I don't doubt that you saw it... anything (and everything) is both possible and likely these days!
