Looks like the EMD T4's are going to be on CSX system wide now.

They look like they have not had major service in a while....that usually means there's a disposition of some kind in mind.

The big thing besides initial teething issues seems to be higher fuel consumption?

On my road, those things have never been mentioned. The only thing I heard, and recently, is that the injectors want quaility fuel - and that’s usually lacking on the RR. I have seen something on one of the mtce histories for injector replacement or the like, so I’d be more inclined to say that the injectors May have needed to be redesigned to use locations that have less quaility fuels or older storage tanks with poor filtration allowing junk fuel (for this engine) to get thru. The air compressor in this video seems to be much louder than the ones I’ve had, but the audio/mic seems to be amplified.
