2016年5月3日 · I know back in the 80's for a short time, CSX had a Roadrailer service. Why did they use FP7's on some of the Roadrailer trains?

As more diesels were added, the tonnage and length of the trains grew, requiring the horsepower from a fourth unit, A-B-B-A. GP 7/9s were also used in the mainline manifest and coal trains. The addition of CTC signaling and longer passing sidings allowed the Clinchfield to be even more efficient by running longer trains.

2006年7月21日 · The original CSX FP7/F7 units (#116A, 117B, 118A) were retired back in the 90’s.

2025年1月12日 · CSX 118 : Description: Photo run-by at Thurmond on 1989 New River Train. It is unfortunate that CSX didn't keep these units for use on its OCS train.
