Eastern Railroad Discussion > Stored locomotives on CSX & NS

If this has already been discussed earlier I apologize. Just curious on how many locomotives the big 2 in the east have across their system that are stored serviceable & non-serviceable. What yards or locations are most located. There has been quite a few photos & discussion on the western board & on different photo sites regarding UP & BNSF but not much on CSX & NS. One would think with many of these locomotives @ the end of their careers this may be the final chapter in working a class I. Thanks.

NS has the following units stored at locations throughout its system:

1 - EMD GP38
30 - EMD GP38AC
10 - EMD GP50
2 - EMD GP59 (1 has wreck damage)
2 - EMD SW1001
16 - EMD SW1500
9 - EMD MP15DC
2 - EMD SD9M
2 - EMD SD38
14 - EMD SD40
4 - EMD SD40-2's (1 has fire damage)
9 - EMD SD60 (2 have wreck damage)
1 - EMD SD60M
1 - EMD SD60I
3 - EMD SD80MAC
23 - GE C39-8E
58 - GE Dash 8-40C
36 - GE Dash 9-40C
5 - RP-E4U Slug

228 = TOTAL

Specific unit numbers of those stored can be found listed on the rosters on my website:

Does NS have a bunch of rent-a-wrecks stored in Chatt?

NS is storing locomotives for both Helm and CIT at Chattanooga and Altoona.

Do they make money for this or is NS paying a lease on them now?

The locomotives are not being leased by NS. The owners pay a storage fee to NS for storing them.

Well I saw a bunch there the other day and was just wondering. Thanks for the info!

Thank you to Chris for the nice NS breakdown. While I don't have nearly as solid a rundown for CSX, I can tell you that there are approximately 600 units in storage, not including leasers that CSX is storing for other parties. Types are quite varied and include about anything, though SD40-2s make up a decent chunk.

Do you know the numbers of the units that have wreck damage?

NS 4622, 6593 and 6653. All three were wrecked in the Graniteville, SC derailment in January 2005.

Could someone describe what exactly the process is for storing a locomotive? Does that mean it's just parked, shut down and covered up to be used later? Or does it mean the unit may possibly be retired in the near future?

Thanks Chris none of those are in my photo database....What about the Sd40-2 with fire damage?

Thanks Chris I don't have that one either.

I wonder how much of a coincidence it is that two of the SD80MACs NS has stored were the last two in Conrail paint. Hmmmmm
