New locomotives - rebuilds or not - are nice to see when they are nice and shiny. Unfortunately - these are all "remote control robots" and won't see any scenery beyond the yards they get assigned. Still nice photo Chase.

Great Photo Chase! there 2001-2003 are currently being tested on an interdivisional local here in Cincinnati all week. They have been getting a good work out making the 160ish mile round trip down and back on the Former L&N. It has been neat to see them as the only power on a road train!

They can be used for Remote Yard Use Local service and Mainline use CSX 2000 is In Bruceton TN Last i heard and it is Local/Yard use.

As evidenced in this photo, CSX has perfected the art of transforming attractive locomotives into unattractive ones.

I actually like the gp38-3 a lot more than the -2. I think it's something different and we need that on the railroad. Whether it's stuck in a yard or not it'll still be nice to look at in my opinion. I'm thinking/hoping more are made for mainline travels

The Cabs Are Built By Motive Power in Boise Idaho And The Units are Yard, Local and Mainline use if needed according to a friend of mine At CSX Huntington Shops.
