On the topic of performance, notable is that the improvements will yield rejuvenated 3,000-horsepower, six-axle locomotives for the fleet. The tractive power will increase from 86,000 to about 130,000 pounds, making it capable of doing the work of more modern, high-horsepower units in all types of freight service including intermodal and coal.

2014年2月18日 · HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — CSX has released the first rebuilt GP38-3 and GP40-3 locomotives constructed at its Huntington locomotive shop. The four-axle locomotives, similar to the Huntington-designed SD40-3 project, include upgraded cabs, electronic handbrakes, auto start, positive train control, and a new traction control system.

I would see GP38-series locomotives running up the Ohio River towards Benwood Yard a couple years back. These days, I think CSX upgraded the line to handle six-axle power. A fair amount of fracking sand and LNG tank cars move these days.

By the mid-Sixties, EMD unveiled the latest “Geep” – the 2000 horsepower GP38, a lower horsepower companion to the 3000 hp GP40 that went into production the year before. This was a non-turbocharged locomotive, similar in appearance to the earlier GP35. The GP38 had two radiator fans and paired exhaust stacks.

Born in the 1960s, the GP38 remains a cornerstone of freight service reliability. With five new paint schemes and newly equipped with LionChief Plus 2.0 technology, these brightly colored diesel locomotives are sure to delight on any layout.
