It appears that CSX is having some of it's new ES44DC locos delievered sans paint, like NS's "primer" version. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=117771 Harold
Yep, that'd make them a lot more interesting... I wonder how long CSX will wait until they paint them; NS seems to wait a long time. Harold
Harold, I gree that it will be interesting to see how long it takes these units to get painted. Also,any idea what shop will paint them?
That's what I thought when I first saw them... I think the KCS units's stripes go the other direction. Harold
Harold the NS waits until they can do without the engine before it's painted.They need the power so badly right now it might be awhile before these untis are painted.I can name at least 12 new trains we get here.And we are told there are still more to come.
I caught my first primer ES44DC this morning! It was leading a painted unit. I'll post a picture soon. Harold
Another week, another block of GEVO's delievered.... Sightings now include units in the 5240's! Harold
Just reported: # 5235 hit a tractor trailer at a crossing in southern North Carolina last week.. I don't know about the damage to the loco yet. Driver of semi escaped unharmed (except maybe for his pants ) Harold
