That horn is so unique

These new EMD rebuilds are some (I'll just say) "unique" looking units to be sure.

I agree they look pretty cool I guess Wabtec is the new name of General Electric while the new name for EMD is Progress Rail

@Dave6695 They never skipped squat day at the gym that’s for sure.

Sheesh. Older EMDs are so good that even GE repowers them.

Very smart, the horns odd though like a mix of a steamer and a 3 chime

They test engines pretty much every weekday and even sometimes on the weekends when it’s busy. It seems pretty random as for what times they run but late morning (around 1030) seems to be the best time although they do sometimes run them in the evenings or at night.

Hope to see that csx paint sceam someday on the rails 1st engine CSX 1721

Cool

Wow! Really cool stuff. What other units is Wabtec rebuilding for Class 1's?

Thanks! At the Erie plant, most of the new rebuilds are CSX CM44ACs & NS AC44C6Ms. A few CN AC44C6Ms have also come out recently but not nearly as many of them as the CSX & NS ones

Thanks! I’m not sure exactly what they’re for. I know it is to test something but what that is I don’t know.

Definitely a narrow font.

These are by far the Weirdest locomotives CSX has ever had.

I like them better than the SD70ACe as the radiator is all the way back to the end of the hood where the ACe radiator doesn't look right with the Dynamic Brake compartment at the end.

If i could ask a question could i use your idea of the JTR but with me and my one friends name it would be MT then i would have to think of something to put after if not thats fine i just wanted to know if i could use the idea as well thank you again its ok if not

Is it an EMD loco that "defected" to GE?

@JTR_Bricks_Railfanning

Pretty much, it has components of EMD & GE locomotives in it.

it assimilated by GE!!

What is a SD 23 T4 what kind of power plant does it have , and whats different about it? I see a different raideator configuration.

@JTR_Bricks_Railfanning

It’s really a ET23DCM (CSX gives loco models their own name). They are rebuilt from EMD SD40-2s with many parts of GE locomotives to make them Tier IV compliant. It is essentially a Tier IV GEVO inside the shell of an SD40-2 (with less horsepower).

The '23' comes from the 2300-horsepower GEVO-6 prime mover.

Those are unique for sure. I liked the ST70AH's but this is sorta odd. Honestly, the more annoying part is the model number. They couldn't have made it any more forgettable could they

People in the comments acting like SD45's didnt exist with the wide radiators. Lol

Ugly radiator in the back and ugly horn, it’s like a wannabe GEVO. 😭
