As clean as it gets! CSXT 3007, a two week old GE ES44AC released from Erie in early May idles on the point of a westbound loaded AEP coal drag at the W.E. Dock, west of St. Albans. The new tier three compliant GE ES44AC's will likely make their way into coal service as the rest of the order is released. In addition to sporting the "boxcar logo" as seen in the late 2011 order, the 2012 order included a unique 3000 series numbering system, likely as a result of the tier three specifications.
