Wow! That was a wonderful video!! I love the CSX locomotives and I love seeing the CSX locomotives in the storages. This video has given me a relaxation.

[@mshum538]

I saw a geep 30 chassis ( road slug ) engine 2258 @4:38 and although it was 10 years before I went in to the seat those engines were numbered 6900 series and lead as the lead unit on many of the B&O trailer jets during the 60d’s to early 70d’s, so, those engines even thou their a slug without a prime mover are well past their time….sad to say the switch engines like the 1100 series you see parked in this video are a dependable engine and hopefully some 3rd class operator will give them a refurbished 2nd life, they were fun and easy to operate…..ms~~~…..

[@AbelG8781]

The SD70MAC's are their most recent EMD purchase, it's weird seeing them sit there. Dash 8s are DC powered junk so I can see why they're parked.

[@xDiamondzx]

Don’t forget about those pre production SD70ACe’s that they purchased back from 2004 that were all retired in 2017 and along with the SD70ACe-T4’s or (ST70AH’s) that they purchased in the summer of 2019. But then again on a big purchase of locomotives. Yeah I would say it would be the SD70MAC’s.

[@terrywallace1327]

First of all none of them is junk!all they need is a little TLC and maintenance!I don't see a single piece of junk in this line.if you had the experience I have in fixing locomotives, you wouldn't think of them as junk!what you have here is money going to waste .each one of these girls can be made to run again. And they Can make you money! I wish I had a short line. I would approach csx and purchase every one of these locomotives and take them and put them in the shops and re build them and repair them and give them a new paint job ,And put them back in service making money for me! In order for a locomotive to be called junk,it must beyond economical repairs, and the electrical system must be done! And the prime mover cannot be fixed. Traction motor's must be burned out and the cost of repairs expensive. Then you can say it is junk!

Carmetlita we don't know. Though most 4500 series (though they're AC's) are being upgraded to the MACe's. The only Flared MAC's (from 4701 to 4830) that are left in service are 4758, 4792, 4800, and 4814. Though rumors are saying that more Flared MAC's might return to service.

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

You're in luck. More flared MAC'S were taken out of storage a few months ago. There are like 6 or 7 active now.

@@JoesJunction sometimes they'll also remove them from stored units and place them on active locomotives that have had their original horns damaged, BNSF has done this on a number of ES44, SD70ACe, and C44-9W locomotives in their fleet.

@@graphtonix6607 I highly doubt that. If some of these get sold to LTEX, then the chances of them getting scrapped is possible.

CSX Train Fan unfortunately, some were and would be retired in the future. RP20CD 1601, GP60 6897, and SD50-2 8578 were all retired in March and July of 2019 respectively. Since SD60M 8766 is only 1 to 7-10 SD60M's left, he could be retired sometime in the future. Infact, C40-8W's 7708, 7757, 7773 (Whose in a bit of bad shape), 7800, 7813, 7841, and 7920 could also be in possible recommened retirement to, seeing that they're missing their number-boards.
