sure thing.

OK, thanks "tipdripper"! :)

correction. they have some dash 7s, but theyre all B series dash 7s. those did come from seaboard. all the C series ones i believe have been retired.

Wow, I guess I got lucky seeing a C30-7 trailing at Rocky Mount back in 2005! Thanks for the info!
-
i know. guiness world record for the loudest cat meow. but what speaks for itself is how there isnt a single C30-7 left on CSX. in fact, i think all the dash 7s left are from the chessie family. virtually no seaboard GEs, but nearly every EMD dash 2 from SBD, SCL and L&N is still in service with no modifications, and most of the non dash 2s are still in service as slugs, including SCL 1582 from the video.

Yeah, I've seen those. My grandmother's dad worked for Seaboard Coast Line, but he's long gone now. I never got to meet him. It would've been cool, though. There's one video from e44e33 of the SCL at Collier with a very nasty-sounding Leslie S5T horn! YECH!
NS is also purchasing ES44ACs

Yeah, but they're keeping them in the Pokey District area unfortunately. :(
I would, however, like to see CSXT and NS order the ES44C4 units like BNSF has.
CSXT's could be numbered from 5603-5693, and NS's could be numbered from 7800-7900. That would be sweet!

NS ES44AC units are actually numbered 8000-8023.

I know, but I'm saying if they got ES44C4 units, that would be a good numbering scheme for them.
